Y equals 2x + 1 ^ 2 - 4 point on a graph

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To graph the equation y = 2x + 1^2 - 4, we can follow these steps:

1. Start by plotting the y-intercept, which is -3. When x = 0, y = -3. So, we plot the point (0, -3).

2. Next, find another point on the line by choosing a value for x and then calculating the corresponding value for y. Let's choose x = 1.
y = 2(1) + 1^2 - 4
y = 2 + 1 - 4
y = -1

So, when x = 1, y = -1. Plot the point (1, -1).

3. Connect the two plotted points with a straight line to complete the graph of the equation y = 2x + 1^2 - 4.

The graph should have the points (0, -3) and (1, -1) connected by a straight line.
