The graph will form a parabola. Each graph will have either a maximum or minimum point. There is a line of symmetry which will divide the graph into two halves.
x = 3
x = 2
When a quadratic function is in standard form The equation of the line of symmetry is y = ax 2 + bx + c,
For example… Find the line of symmetry of y = 3x 2 – 18x + 7 Thus, the line of symmetry is x = 3. Using the formula…
