Q. If y=2x2−5x+7 is graphed in the xy-plane, which of the following characteristics of the graph is displayed as a constant or coefficient in the equation?Choose 1 answer:(A) x-intercept(s)(B) y-intercept(C) x-coordinate of the vertex(D) y-coordinate of the vertex
Identify characteristics of parabola: Identify the characteristics of a parabola that can be directly read from the standard form equation y=ax2+bx+c.
Recognize y-intercept of parabola: Recognize that the y-intercept of a parabola is the point where the graph crosses the y-axis, which occurs when x=0.
Substitute x=0 to find y-intercept: Substitute x=0 into the equation y=2x2−5x+7 to find the y-intercept.y=2(0)2−5(0)+7y=0−0+7y=7
Conclude y-intercept from constant term: Conclude that the y-intercept is the constant term in the equation of the parabola, which is 7 in this case.
Match y-intercept to given options: Match the characteristic to the options given in the problem.The y-intercept is displayed as a constant in the equation, which corresponds to option B.
