For the equation y=ax^2 how does the sign of coefficient affect the graph of the curve

The sign of the coefficient determines the direction of where the graph opens.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the quadratic equation, y = ax²:

The sign of the coefficient, a, affects the graph of the curve as it determines the direction of where the graph opens.

Please see the attached screenshots of the graphed equations (y = -x², and y = x²), to show the effects of changing the sign of a quadratic equation's coefficient.

step-by-step explanation:

once you graph it hit 2nd (the blue button) and graph

that takes you to a table of coordinates

on the left is x coordinates and on the right is y coordinates and an empty box
