Use the picture to find the vertex and axis of symmetry

• Vertex (3,8) Axis x = 3

• Vertex (3,8) Axis y = 3

• Vertex (8,3) Axis x = 3

• Vertex (8,3) Axis y = 3

What are the x- intercepts?

• x= 0 and x= -4

• x= 0 and x= 4

• y= 0

• x= 2

An equation that can be written in the form y = ax² + bx + c

• Quadratic equation

• Polynomical equation

• Linear equation

• Maxical equation

A vertical line that cuts the parabola into 2 symmetrical halves. This always goes through the vertex and ALWAYS begins with "x=" This is sometimes called the "line of symmetry".
