Introduction to Graphing Parabolas

Which of the following equations matches standard form of a quadratic?

• ax + by = c
• y = a(x - h)² + k
• y = ax² + bx + c
• y = mx + b

If we have the equation y=ax²+bx+c, how can we can find the x-coordinate of the vertex?

• -a
• -b/a
• b/2a
• -b/2a

What is the vertex of y=x²+4x+3?

• (2,1)
• (-2,1)
• (0,0)
• (-2,-1)

The axis of symmetry line passes through which point?

• y-intercept
• any random point
• vertex
• symmetrical point for the vertex

A parabola has a vertex at (-3,2).
Where is the axis of symmetry?

• y = -2
• x = 3
• x = -3
• y = 2

The graph of a quadratic function is called a

• Parabola
• Vertex
• Axis of Symmetry 
• Vertex Form
