答案:A
解析:
Since the graph of y = (x^2)-(4x) + c in the xy-plane contains the point (-2,0), it follows that substituting the value x = -2 into y = (x^2)-(4x) + c) yields y = 0. Hence 0 = ((-2)^2)-4(-2) + c, which simplifies to 0 = 4-(-8) + c, or 0 = 12 + c. Therefore, c = -12.
Alternatively, since the graph of y = (x^2)-(4x) + c) in the xy-plane contains the points (-2,0) and (6,0), and the coefficient of x^2 is 1, the equation is equivalent to y = (x +2)(x-6), which multiplies out to y = (x^2)-(4x)-12. Therefore, c = -12.
