Find the vertex.
\Observe the graph:
\The parabola opens upward and the vertex is located at the minimum point of the parabola.
\Minimum point of the parabola is
.
Vertex is
.
Find axis of symmetry.
\The axis of symmetry is the line that goes through the vertex
and divides the parabola into congruent halves.
Axis of symmetry is
.
Find y-intercept.
\The
- intercept is the point where the graph intersects the
- axis.
It is located at
, so the
- intercept is
.
Vertex is
.
The axis of symmetry is
.
-intercept is
.
