Parts of Quadratic Equations

The formula for the axis of symmetry is:

• y = b² - 4ac

• y = -b/2a

• x = b² - 4ac

• x = -b/2a

The turning point of the quadratic graph is called the:

• vertex

• minimum

• maximum

• axis of symmetry

The vertex that is the highest point of the graph is called the:

• minimum

• axis of symmetry

• maximum

• vertex
