Graphing y = (x h)2 k In the graph of y = x2, the point (0, 0) is called the vertex The vertex is the minimum point in a parabola that opens upward In a parabola that opens downward, the vertex is the maximum point We can graph a parabola with a different vertex Observe the graphGraph of y = x 1Slope = 1Gradiant = Rise/Run = 1/1 = 1 (Run is always 1)We have a line with slope of 1 and intercepts the yaxis at 1 with two points we Slope intercept form We can rewrite y = x into the general form of a slopeintercept equation y = mx b, with m = 1,b = 0 y = 1x 0 This gives us the yintercept of 0 (and so we have the point (0,0)) and slope of 1 which means that for every point we move to the right, we move 1 up (slope = rise run = y2 − y1 x2 − x1)
