When a < 0 in the quadratic function y = ax2 + bx + C, the graph of the quadratic function opens ?

downwards

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the quadratic function in standard form

y = ax² + bx + c ( a ≠ 0 )

• If a > 0 then the graph opens upwards

• If a < 0 then the graph opens downwards

a line is an defined derm because it

a)contains an infinite number of points b) can be used to create other geometric shapes c)describes something that does not have width or depth d) is a term that does not have a formal definition. a line is an undefined term because it: contains an infinite number of points.
