### Task:

Graph the following quadratic function using its properties. Based on the graph, determine the domain and range of the quadratic function.

\[ f(x) = x^2 - 6x + 5 \]

---

#### Instructions:

1. **Use the Graphing Tool**
   - Click the button labeled "Click to enlarge graph" to access the graphing tool and begin plotting the function.

2. **Graph Details**
   - The quadratic function \( f(x) = x^2 - 6x + 5 \) is a parabola.
   - You can identify the vertex, axis of symmetry, and the direction in which the parabola opens by expanding and converting the function into vertex form if necessary.

3. **Determine Domain and Range**
   - **Domain**: The domain of any quadratic function is all real numbers, \(-\infty, \infty\).
   - **Range**: Based on the vertex of the graph and the direction in which the parabola opens (upward if the coefficient of \( x^2 \) is positive), the range will vary.

#### Graph Explanation:

- **Graph Axes**
  - X-axis: Horizontal line indicating the values of \( x \).
  - Y-axis: Vertical line indicating the values of \( f(x) \).

- **Plotting the Function**
  - Identify the vertex by completing the square or using the formula \( x = \frac{-b}{2a} \) for the vertex \( x\)-coordinate.
  - Once the vertex is plotted, choose additional points on either side of the vertex to plot the symmetrical nature of the parabola.
  
### Interactive Tip:
Use the interactive graphing tool to adjust and visualize the parabola on the graph grid. Ensure that the plot properly extends to illustrate the key features: vertex, axis of symmetry, x-intercepts, and y-intercept.
