Which of the following points lies on the graph of f(x) = -x 2? (-4, 2) (-2, -4) (-2, 4) (4, -2)

(-2, -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

we know that

If a ordered pair lies on the graph, then the ordered pair must satisfy the equation of f(x)

Verify each ordered pair

case A) (-4, 2)

Substitute the value ox x and the value of y in the equation and then compare the results

------> is not true

therefore

The point not lies on the graph

case B) (-2, -4)

Substitute the value ox x and the value of y in the equation and then compare the results

------> is true

therefore

The point lies on the graph

case C) (-2, 4)

Substitute the value ox x and the value of y in the equation and then compare the results

------> is not true

therefore

The point not lies on the graph

case D) (4, -2)

Substitute the value ox x and the value of y in the equation and then compare the results

------> is not true

therefore

The point not lies on the graph

it should be a.

a mantle plume is an upwelling of abnormally hot rock within the earth's mantle. as the heads of mantle plumes can partly melt when they reach shallow depths, they are thought to be the cause of volcanic centers known as hotspots and probably also to have caused flood basalts.
