Explanation:

The axis of symmetry: is the line that makes the parabola split in exactly half and lines up with the vertex. For that parabola x=1 is the line of symetry.

The vertex is where the minimum of the graph is, on this graph you can eyeball it to be (1,-9)

The x-intercept is where y is 0 so that's where the lines intersex with the x-axis. (-2,0) and (4,0)

The y-intercept of the function is where x is 0 and where the parabola intersects with the y-axis. On this graph it would be (0,-8)

Hope that helps :)
