Axis of Symmetry, Vertex, X-Intercepts

Define X-intercept

• The highest or lowest point on the graph

• Where the parabola touches or intersects the x-axis

• Where the parabola touches or intersects the y-axis

• A line that divides the graph into two equal parts. i.e. cuts the graph in half

What was the maximum height of the ball? Choose the key feature and the answer choice.

• y-intercept, 3 feet

• y-intercept, 0 feet

• x-value of the vertex, 4 feet

• y-value of the vertex, 5 feet

How high was the ball when it was thrown? Choose the key feature and the answer.

• y-intercept, 0 feet

• y-intercept, 3 feet

• x-value of the vertex, 4

• y-value of the vertex 5

What was the maximum height of the water? Choose the key feature and the answer.

• y-intercept, 0 feet

• x-value of the vertex, 2 feet

• y-value of the vertex 10 feet

• x-intercept. 3.85 feet

Does this scenario have a max or a min?

• Max

• Min

Use the graph to determine the X-intercepts

• (-1,0) and (-3,0)

• (1,0) and (3,0)

• (0,1) and (0,3)

• (0,-1) and (0,-3)

Define Y-intercept

• Where the parabola touches or intersects the x-axis, also called the x-intercept

• The lowest y-value on the graph

• The highest y-value on the graph

• Where the parabola touches or intersects the y-axis
