Determine the opening direction of a quadratic.
\( \text{Which direction does } y = -x^2 + 2 \text{ open?} \)
Choose one option:
Look at a, the coefficient of x², to know the parabola's opening.
Check the coefficient of \(x^2\) in \(y = ax^2 + bx + c\) to decide the direction: negative opens downward.
