Finding the Vertex and Graphing Parabolas

For FREE access to this lesson, select your course from the categories below.

Students learn to graph quadratic equations that are written in y – k = a(x – h)2 form by using the coordinates (h, k) to graph the vertex, and using the x and y-intercepts to graph the parabola. Students are reminded that to find the y-intercept, they must substitute a 0 in for x, and to find the x-intercept(s), they must substitute a zero in for y. Students are also asked to find the axis of symmetry using the formula x = h.
