Questions: Which statement describes the graph? A. The graph crosses the y-axis at (0,7), increasing from x=-10 to x=0 and decreasing from x=0 to x=10. B. The graph crosses the y-axis at (-8,0), increasing from x=-10 to x=-2 and decreasing from x=-2 to x=10. C. The graph crosses the y-axis at (0,7), increasing from x=-10 to x=-2 and decreasing from x=-2 to x=10. D. The graph crosses the y-axis at (0,7), increasing from x=-110 to x=-2 and remaining constant from x=-2 to x=10.

Which statement describes the graph?

Analyze the graph

The graph starts at \( (-10, -2) \) and increases until it reaches the peak at \( (-2, 9) \). Then it decreases until it reaches \( (10, 4) \). When \( x = 0 \), the graph crosses the y-axis at approximately \( y = 7 \).

Check option A

The graph crosses the \(y\)-axis at approximately \( (0,7) \), increasing from \( x=-10 \) to \( x=-2 \), not \( x=0 \), and decreasing from \( x=-2 \) to \( x=10 \). So, option A is not correct.

Check option B

The graph doesn't cross the \( y \)-axis at \( (-8, 0) \). So, option B is not correct.

Check option C

The graph crosses the \( y \)-axis at approximately \( (0, 7) \), increasing from \( x = -10 \) to \( x = -2 \) and decreasing from \( x = -2 \) to \( x = 10 \). Thus, option C is correct.

Check option D

The graph doesn't remain constant from \( x = -2 \) to \( x = 10 \). So, option D is not correct.
