Answer:
downward, maximum value
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = - x^2 - 3x + 1
The negative in front of the x^2 means the graph opens downwards
The y intercept is 1
Because it opens downward it has a maximum value

You are given two points on a line, and told that the function is "direct variation." You can save a lot of time by recognizing that the y-intercept here is zero (0). Thus, the line passes through the origin.
A line through (2,14) and (4,38) is NOT direct variation, because the line connecting those two points does NOT pass through the origin, and thus has a vertical intercept.
