What can you tell me about the vertex and line of symmetry? Where are they? How do you calculate them?

Answer:

Formula Of Vertex and Line of symmetry

Explanation:

The axis of symmetry always passes through the vertex of the parabola . The x -coordinate of the vertex is the equation of the axis of symmetry of the parabola. For a quadratic function in standard form, y=ax2+bx+c , the axis of symmetry is a vertical line x=−b2a

Parabolas always have a lowest point (or a highest point, if the parabola is upside-down). This point, where the parabola changes direction, is called the "vertex"
