Answer

Plot the points $(-3,-3),(-1,13),(0,15),(1,13),(3,-3)$ and join them with a smooth curve

Work Step by Step

We are given the equation: $y=-2x^2+15$ Determine 5 points belonging to the graph: $x=-3\Rightarrow y=-2(-3)^2+15=-3$ $x=-1\Rightarrow y=-2(-1)^2+15=13$ $x=0\Rightarrow y=-2(0^2)+15=15$ $x=1\Rightarrow y=-2(1^2)+15=13$ $x=3\Rightarrow y=-2(3^2)+15=-3$ Plot the points $(-3,-3),(-1,13),(0,15),(1,13),(3,-3)$ and join them with a smooth curve to graph the function:
