You can put this solution on YOUR website!
identify the axis of symmetry, create a suitable
table of values, and sketch the graph?
y=x^2-5x+3
----------
the axis occurs where x = -b/2a = 5/2
-----------------
If x = -1 y = (-1)^2-5*-1+3 = 9
--------------
If x = 0, y = 3
----------------
If x = 1, y = 1-5+3 = -1
-----------------
If x = 2, y = 2^2-5*2+3 = -3
-------------------
If x = 3, y = 3^2-5*3+3 = -3
-------------
If x = 4, y = 4^2-5*4+3 = -1
------------------------------------
