Write the English sentence as an equation in two variables. Then graph the equation.

The y-value is eight decreased by the square of the x-value.

The sentence can be translated to the equation?

Use the graphing tool to graph the equation.

y = 8-x²

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given a statement.

The y-value is eight decreased by the square of the x-value.

We have to write it in algebraic form.

square of the x-value = x²

Decreased shows subtraction and denoted by negative sign (-).

Hence, the statement can be written in the form of

y = 8-x² which is the answer.

y = 8 - x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

"Decreased by ... " means whatever follows is subtracted from whatever came before. "Is" means "equals." So, the square of the x-value (x^2) is subtracted from 8:

y = 8 - x^2
