We will be able to identify the answer if we have the equation. We can only check on the coordinates from the given vertex.
A parabola that opens upward is a U-shaped curve where the vertex is the lowest point on the graph. It can be represented by the general equation y = ax^2 + bx + c, where a is a positive number. The axis of symmetry is a vertical line passing through the vertex, and the parabola is symmetric with respect to this line. The focus of the parabola lies on the axis of symmetry and is equidistant from the vertex and the directrix, which is a horizontal line parallel to the x-axis.

If you have a quadratic equation and there is no x to put into the equation to get zero. The graph is like a U that is above the x axis or a cap that is below the x axis.
Wonderful! Neither the graph nor the list of choices for its equation is included. The question has been referred to our Department of Clairvoyance for their consideration. (They knew it was coming.).
