To determine the equation of the parabola that opens downward and has a y-intercept at (0, -4), we can observe from the graph that it intersects the y-axis at this point.
Now, let's evaluate the given options:
A. (y-intercept: -4, opens upward)
B. (y-intercept: 8, opens downward)
C. (y-intercept: 2, opens upward)
D.
