ACT SAT Prep How to determine which equation represents the graph of a parabola

The video tutorial covers identifying the equation of a parabola using standard and vertex forms. It explains how to determine if a parabola opens up or down based on the 'a' value in standard form and how to identify the vertex in vertex form. The tutorial also demonstrates how to eliminate incorrect equations by using the vertex and verify if points lie on a graph by plugging in coordinates.

What point was identified as the vertex in the discussion?

What was the outcome when testing the point (0, -2) against the equation?

How can you determine if a point lies on the graph of a parabola?
