Plot the points on a graph and determine which graph best represents the equation.

Graph A

On a coordinate plane, a parabola opens up and goes through (negative 2, 4), has a vertex at (0, 0), and goes through (2, 4).

Graph B

On a coordinate plane, a parabola opens down and goes through (negative 2, negative 4), has a vertex at (0, 0), and goes through (2, negative 4).
