The vertex of a parabola that opens downward is at (0, 4). the vertex of a second parabola is at (0, –4). if the parabolas intersect at two points, which statement must be true?

Many statements can be true about those parabolas, so you need to include the list of choices.

This is the list of answer choices that I found for this same question:

A. The second parabola opens downward.
B. The second parabola opens upward.
C. The points of intersection are on the x-axis.
D. The points of intersection are of equal distance from the y-axis.

While A, B or C may be or may not be true, D has to be true.

D. has to be true because the symetry axis of both parabolas is x = 0, so the intersection points will  be necesarily to the same distance of the x-axis and the y-axis.


The points of intersection are of equal distance from the y-axis.
