Find the vertex, the equation of the axis of symmetry and the y − intercept of the graph.
Answer to Problem 50SR
Vertex: (0, 4), axis of symmetry: x=0 and the y − intercept is y = 4
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The graph:
Concept Used:
Find the vertex:
This Parabola opens up, so the vertex is located at the minimum point of the parabola. It is located at (0, 4)
Find the axis of symmetry:
The axis of symmetry is the line that goes through the vertex and divided the parabola into congruent halves. It is located at x = 0
Find the y − intercept:
The y intercept is the point where the graph intersects the y − axis. It is located at (0, 4), so the y − intercept is 4.
Vertex: (0, 4), axis of symmetry: x=0 and the y − intercept is y = 4
Thus, Vertex: (0, 4), axis of symmetry: x=0 and the y − intercept is y = 4
