Which graph represents the parametric equations x = t2 + 2t and y = –t, where –4 ≤ t ≤ 1?
Answer
A
On a coordinate plane, a curve starts at (3, negative 1), curves up through (0, 0) to (negative 1, 1), and curves up through (0, 2) and (3, 3).
B
On a coordinate plane, a curve starts at (negative 1, 1) and curves down through (0, 0) and (8, negative 2).
C
On a coordinate plane, a curve starts at (3, 1), curves down through (0, 0) to (negative 1, negative 1), and then curves down through (0, negative 2) to (8, negative 4).
D
