Transcribed Image Text:**Parabolas: Identifying Key Features**
**Objective:**
Identify the vertex, axis of symmetry, and determine whether the parabola opens upward or downward.
**Instructions:**
1. **Determine the Vertex:**
- The vertex is the highest or lowest point on the parabola and can be identified from the graph. Please type the vertex as an ordered pair (x, y).
2. **Identify the Axis of Symmetry:**
- Choose the correct equation for the axis of symmetry from the given options:
- A. \( x = 1 \)
- B. \( y = 1 \)
- C. \( x = -1 \)
- D. \( y = -1 \)
3. **Determine the Direction of the Parabola:**
- Select whether the parabola opens upward or downward from the dropdown menu.
**Graph Description:**
- The graph provided is a coordinate plane with the parabola plotted in blue.
- The x-axis ranges from -6 to 2.
- The y-axis ranges from -4 to 4.
- The parabola reaches its vertex at point \((-2, 3)\) and opens downward.
**Diagram Explanation:**
- The graph showcases a downward-opening parabola with its vertex at \((-2, 3)\).
- By identifying the central line, it is seen that the axis of symmetry is \( x = -2 \).
**Conclusion:**
- From analyzing the graph:
- The vertex is \((-2, 3)\).
- The axis of symmetry is \( x = -2 \).
- The parabola opens downward.
**Fill in the blanks accordingly based on the provided details and your observations.**
