Define Axis Of Symmetry

• A line that divides the graph into two equal parts. i.e. cuts the graph in half

• Where the parabola touches or intersects the x-axis, also called the x-intercept

• The highest y-value on the graph

• The highest or lowest point on the graph

Does this graph have a maxima or minima?

• maxima

• minima
