**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.**
