What is the direction of the graph and does the graph of y = -3(x+4)2 – 1 have a maximum or minimum

The graph opens down, Maximum ⇒ B

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex form of the quadratic equation is y = a(x - h)² + b, where

Let us use these facts to solve the question

∵ The equation of the graph is y = -3(x + 4)² - 1

→ Compare it with the form above

∴ a = -3 and (h, k) = (-4, -1)

∵ a is negative

→ That means a < 0

∴ The graph is opened downward

∴ The graph opens down

∵ The graph is opened downward

→ That means the vertex point will be a maximum point

∴ The graph has a maximum vertex

∴ The graph opens down and has a maximum vertex
