What is the correct equation of a left opening parabola if h=3, k=3, and p= -2 ?

The graph of a quadratic function is called a

• Parabola

• Vertex

• Axis of Symmetry 

• Vertex Form

Where is the axis of symmetry for this parabola?

• x = −1

• x = 0

• y = 3

• x = −3

In order to graph a quadratic equation in standard form, the first two steps are to use the equation _____ to find the axis of symmetry (which is the x coordinate of the vertex), and then you can plug that value back into the equation to find the _____.

• -b/2a, y coordinate of the vertex

• (x-h)^2, y-intercept
  

• (x-r1), solution

• ax^2, vertex
