• B) Vertex: \(( - 1 , - 9 )\); \(x\)-intercepts: \(( - 4,0 )\) and \(( 2,0 )\); \(y\)-intercept: \(( 0,8 )\)
• C) Vertex: \(( - 1,9 )\); x-intercepts: \(( - 4,0 )\) and \(( 2,0 )\); \(y\)-intercept: \(( 0,8 )\)
• D) Vertex: \(( 1,9 )\); x-intercepts: \(( - 2,0 )\) and \(( 4,0 )\); y-intercept: \(( 0,8 )\)
