Answer 1

It’s B you got to see the lowest part of the graph and you will call it mini except if the graph was going down you will call that point maximum.

Answer 2

B. (-2, -2); minimum

Explanation:

The vertex is the where the curve turns up/down which divides the figure into two halves.

From the given graph, the graph turns up at (-2, -2) , the graph moves down, therefore, the vertex (-2, -2); minimum.

Hope this will helpful.

Thank you.
