Front

What does the coefficient 'c' represent in the quadratic equation?

Back

The coefficient 'c' represents the y-intercept of the quadratic function when graphed.

Front

How do you find the vertex of a parabola given in standard form?

Back

The vertex (h, k) can be found using the formula h = -b/(2a) and k = f(h), where f(x) is the quadratic function.

Front

What is the axis of symmetry for a parabola?

Back

The axis of symmetry is a vertical line that passes through the vertex of the parabola, given by the equation x = h.

Front

What is the formula to calculate the slope between two points?

Back

The slope (m) between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is calculated using the formula m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

What is the significance of the vertex in a quadratic function?

Back

The vertex represents the maximum or minimum point of the parabola, depending on the direction it opens.
