whats the question

Answer 4

vertex formula

Answer 5

I posted it

Answer 6

well you know its a parabola
so its going be negative since it is upside down

Answer 7

so which points do I use

Answer 8

Answer 9

@Vocaloid

Answer 10

let's start with intercept first

Answer 11

to find y-intercept , you have to substitute x=0 and solve for y
OR
the point where the graph intersects the y axis is called as y intercept

Answer 12

so can you identify the point where the graph meets the y axis ?

Answer 13

Answer 14

The intercepts are where the parabola meets the x-axis.

The vertex is where the parabola starts from.

The axis of symmetry is the x-value of the vertex.

Answer 15

okay so intercepts would be (0,0)(-5,0)
vertex (-1,-5)

Answer 16

Intercepts are correct.

The vertex is incorrect. It is where the parabola starts.

Answer 17

okay so the vertex would be um

Answer 18

@Vocaloid

Answer 19

^axis of symmetry and vertex

Answer 20

(2,4.5)

Answer 21

should be (2.5,5) the y-axis isn't drawn well but each space is 1 unit

Answer 22

so that would be the vertex and axis of symmetry?

Answer 23

axis is just x = 2.5

vertex is (2.5,5)

Answer 24

Sounds good and my intercepts as (0,0,) (-5,0)

Answer 25

should be (5,0) not -5

Answer 26

make sure to specify:

x intercepts: (0,0) and (5,0)
y intercepts: (0,0)

Answer 27

oh okay @563blackghost said it was right that's why i was getting a second opinion

Answer 28

Perfect , thank you !
