The equation is in vertex form, $\"y=a%28x-h%29%5E2%2Bk\"$ where ( $\"h\"$ , $\"k\"$ ) is the vertex.
\n" ); document.write( "( $\"h\"$ , $\"k\"$ )=( $\"2\"$ , $\"0\"$ )
\n" ); document.write( "The axis of symmetry is $\"x=2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Pick points on opposite sides of the axis of symmetry and plot them.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y%281%29=y%283%29=-1\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y%280%29=y%284%29=-4\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y%28-1%29=y%285%29=-9\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Plot those points, then draw the curve.
