Answer

Option (d)

Work Step by Step

The first bracket represents the settings for the x-axis while the second represents the settings for the y-axis. For each bracket, the first two numbers represent the starting and ending coordinates. The third represents the distance between ticks. Thus, the given viewing rectangle means: (i) The x-values vary from -10 to 10. The distance between ticks is equal to 2 units. This means that there are 5 ticks to the left of 0 and 5 ticks to the right. (ii) The y-values vary from -4 to 4. The distance between ticks is equal to 2 units. This means that there are 2 ticks above 0 and 2 ticks below. The graph that meet these settings is the one in Option (d).
