Finding Vertex of a Parabola

Find the vertex:

• (-4, 2)

• (-2, 4)

• (4, 2)

• (2, -4)

Answer explanation

When using a graph to find the vertex, you are looking for the highest or lowest point on the graph. From there, follow the x-axis (left and right) and then the y-axis (up and down)

Ordered pairs are ALWAYS written as (x, y)
