The axis of symmetry of the parabola is the line about which the parabola is symmetric. The vertex of the parabola is the point where the axis of symmetry intersects the parabola. o If a > 1, the graph opens upwards. If a < 1, the graph opens downwards. o a > 1 is a vertical stretch and 0 < a < 1 is a vertical shrink.
