Question 576124: Have a good idea on how to graph this equation. h= -2t^2. h is the vertical axis and t is the horizontal, and and ^2 would be raised to ^3, and I am plotting from -3 to 3, so would it be a straight Line? I know I am probably way off.

+h+=+-2t%5E2+
This is a quadratic, or parabola
The minus sign means that there is a maximum
and not a minimum.
There is no constant term, which means the
parabola is symmetric about the y-axis
