It is possible that for a parabola and a line to intersect exactly once.
The y-intercept of the quadratic function is always higher than the y-coordinate of the vertex.
If a quadratic function has no x-intercept, then its discriminant must be less than 0.
Assuming a parabola has 2 x-intercepts, then the vertex would be exactly halfway between them. Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Parabola can be tangent to a line, so that works
if the discriminant <0, then no roots, and if no roots, the discriminant is < 0
the vertex is half way between the two intercepts.
what is false is the second: the y-intercept may be greater or less than the y-coordinate of the vertex.
y=-(x-1)^2-7
