The question, in short

Five graphs A to E are shown; identify which graph matches each given equation.

Summarised in our own words. Use the official paper for the exact wording and the diagram.

Part (a) · 1 mark

Choose the letter of the graph that could represent y = 5 − x².

  1. 1y = 5 − x² has a negative x² term, so it is ∩-shaped
  2. 2It crosses the y-axis at 5 (above O)
  3. 3Graph B

AnswerB

Part (b) · 1 mark

Choose the letter of the graph that could represent y = 2x³.

  1. 1y = 2x³ is a cubic passing through O
  2. 2Positive coefficient: rises from bottom left to top right
  3. 3Graph C
