Attributes of Graphs

Front

What is the zero of the graph?

Back

The zero of the graph is the point where the graph intersects the x-axis, indicating the value of x for which the function equals zero.

Front

What is the y-intercept of the graph?

Back

The y-intercept of the graph is the point where the graph intersects the y-axis, indicating the value of y when x equals zero.

Front

What are the zero(s) of the graph?

Back

The zero(s) of the graph are the x-values where the function equals zero, represented as points on the x-axis.

Front

What is the vertex of the graph?

Back

The vertex of the graph is the highest or lowest point of a parabola, representing the maximum or minimum value of the function.

Front

How do you find the y-intercept from a graph?

Back

To find the y-intercept from a graph, locate the point where the graph crosses the y-axis (where x=0).

Front

What does the term 'axis of symmetry' refer to in a graph?

Back

The axis of symmetry is a vertical line that divides the graph into two mirror-image halves.

Front

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

Back

The vertex indicates the maximum or minimum point of the quadratic function, affecting the graph's direction.

Front

How can you determine the zeros of a quadratic function algebraically?

Back

You can determine the zeros of a quadratic function by factoring, using the quadratic formula, or completing the square.

Front

What is the general form of a quadratic function?

Back

Front

What does the coefficient 'a' in a quadratic function indicate?

Back

The coefficient 'a' indicates the direction of the parabola: if 'a' is positive, the parabola opens upwards; if negative, it opens downwards.
