Among the given options, number 3 is accurate. A line is classified as an undefined term since it represents something that lacks width or depth, yet it can extend infinitely in both directions, indicated by arrowheads.
The question clearly seeks the highest values from both functions, meaning the vertices of each.
<span>The graph depicting the path of Ed’s football indicates the vertex's coordinates (the peak of the graph).

Specifically,
(h,k) = (1.5, 7.5)
Where (h,k) represents the vertex's location.
Conversely,<span>the trajectory of Steve's football is defined by the equation:
y = - 2x
²</span>
+ 5x + 4<span>
To find the axis of symmetry, we use the formula:x = - b
÷ 2a
Where:
a = -2</span>
b = 5
Consequently,
x = - 5 ÷ - 4
x = 5 / 4
x = 1.25
Now substituting this x-value back into the main equation to determine y.
y = - 2x² + 5x + 4y = - 2(1.25)² + 5(1.25) + 4
y = - 3.125 + 6.25 + 4
y = 7.125
Thus, the vertex (h,k) = (1.25, 7.125)
As observed from the calculationsEd’s
<span>football attains a higher height.
