Axis of Symmetry

Zeros, Roots, Solutions

Mark the roots of the parabola.

Mark the vertex of the parabola.

Mark the y-intercept of the parabola.

Match the following graphs to their equations:

• 
• 
• 
• 

Plot the positive parabola by placing the y-intercept at y=-3 and the vertex at (2,-4)

• positive
• up
• minimum
• negative
• down
• maximum

• negative
• down
• maximum
• positive
• up
• minimum

The axis of symmetry is the ​ (a)   value of the vertex and the maximum or minimum is the ​ (b)   value of the vertex.

• x
• y

What is the vertex formula?
