On a coordinate plane, a curved line crosses the x-axis at (negative 1, 0) and crosses the y-axis at (0, 0.25). the line exits the plane at (negative 2, negative 6) and (2, 6).
which statement is true about the end behavior of the graphed function?
as the x-values go to positive infinity, the function's values go to negative infinity.
as the x-values go to zero, the function's values go to positive infinity.
as the x-values go to negative infinity, the function's values are equal to zero
as the x-values go to positive infinity, the function's values go to positive infinity.

answer: the proof is mentioned below.

step-by-step explanation:

since, given:   lines bc = ef

prove:   lines ac > ef

          statements                                           reason

1. bc=ef                                           1. given

2. ac= ab+bc                                 2. because b is the point between the  

                                                            line segment ac

3.   ac > bc                                       3. because if a line segment is equal to

                                                          the sum of two line segments then it is

                                                          always greater then each of these

                                                          individual line segments

4. ac > ef                                         4. by equality property.
