4. Observe each graph. Can you draw a line that divides the graph in such a
way that one part is a reflection of the other part? If there is any, determine
the equation of the line?
5. Take a closer look at the minimum point or the maximum point and try to
relate it to the values of h and k in the equation of the
function. Write your observations.

What is It
The x-intercept of a graph is the value of x at which the graph intersects the x-axis.
That is, if the graph passes through the point (a,0), then the graph has an x-intercept
of a. (In other words, the value/s of x when y=0).
The y-intercept of a graph is the value of y at which the graph intersects the y-axis.
Thus, if the graph passes through the point (0,b), then the graph has a y-
intercept of b. (In other words, the value of y when x=0).

What is It
You have noticed that the parabola opens upward or downward. It has a turning point
called vertex which is either the lowest point or the highest point of the graph. If the value of
a > 0, the parabola opens upward and has a minimum point. If a < 0, the parabola opens
downward and has a maximum point. There is a line called the axis of symmetry which
divides the graph into two parts such that one-half of the graph is a reflection of the other
half. If the quadratic function is expressed in the form y = a(x – h)2 + k, the vertex is the point
(h, k). The line x = h is the axis of symmetry and k is the minimum or maximum value of the
function.

In Summary
The vertex is the highest or lowest point of the parabola. The axis of symmetry is
an imaginary line passing through the vertex, which divides the parabola into two identical
parts.
The x-intercept of a graph is the value of x at which the graph intersects the x-axis.
That is, if the graph passes through the point (a,0), then the graph has an x-intercept of a.
(In other words, the value/s of x when y=0).
The y-intercept of a graph is the value of y at which the graph intersects the y-axis.
Thus, if the graph passes through the point (0,b), then the graph has a y-intercept of b. (In
other words, the value of y when x=0).
If the graph passes through the origin, we can see that the graph has an x-intercept
of 0 and a y-intercept of 0.
The domain of a quadratic function is the set of all real numbers. The range
depends on whether the parabola opens upward or downward. If it opens upward, the range
is the set {y : y ≥ k}; if it opens downward, then the range is the set {y : y ≤ k}.
The minimum value is the y coordinate of the vertex of the parabola when it opens
upward or when a > 0.
The maximum value is the y coordinate of the vertex of the parabola when it
opens downward or when a < 0.
