Question
The axis of symmetry of the graph of a quadratic function has the equation x =−12
.
Draw the axis of symmetry on the following axes.
The graph of the quadratic function intersects the x-axis at the point N(2, 0) . There is a second point, M, at which the graph of the quadratic function intersects the x-axis.
Draw the axis of symmetry on the following axes.
The graph of the quadratic function intersects the x-axis at the point N(2,0). There is a second point, M, at which the graph of the quadratic function intersects the x-axis.
