Staff Review
This lesson goes through 6 different example functions and explains how to determine whether the parabola would go upward or downward when graphed by looking at the equation. Also, you will learn how to find the equation for the axis of symmetry, how to find the vertex point, and how to find the y-intercept. Some of the equations are in standard form and some in vertex form. The equation of the axis of symmetry for the 6th problem should be x = -2.
