12 Here are some graphs.

Nine sketch graphs labelled A to J: A n-shaped parabola; B reciprocal curve in first and third quadrants; C cubic with a maximum and a minimum through O; D straight line with positive gradient and positive intercept; E cubic y = x cubed shape through O; F negative cubic through O; G straight line with negative gradient through O; H u-shaped parabola crossing the y-axis below O; J reciprocal curve in second and fourth quadrants

Write down the letter of the graph that could have the equation

(i) \(y = x^2 - 4\) (1)
(ii) \(y = -x^3\) (1)
(iii) \(y = -\dfrac{5}{x}\) (1)
