the correct option is the first one (counting from the top).
The true statement is:
"The leading coefficients of f(x) and g(x) are opposites"
Which statement is true?
We know that f(x) and g(x) are quadratic functions, and the sum of these two functions is shown in the graph.
We can see that the sum gives a linear graph, so the terms with the exponents of 2 are cancelled by the sum.
This only can happen if f(x) and g(x) have opposite (same absolute value but different sign) leading coefficients, so the quadratic terms are cancelled when we add the functions.
For example in f(x) = 2*x^2 + 3x + 4
g(x) = -2x + x + 13
If we add these two functions, we would end with a line.
With that in mind we can conclude that the correct option is the first one (counting from the top).
