Question

For the parabola graphed below, identify its vertex, axis of symmetry, and state if it opens upwards or downwards.

help please!

Answer 1

Explanation:

Find the vertex, in this case which is a maximum (-3,3), the axis of symmetry is a line that cuts it down the middle, vertically so the equation is x = -3, notice that is the same same x value for the vertex

Parabola opens downward

Increases when y < 3 and decreases when y > 3
