Question 328374: Find the vertex, the line of symmetry, and the maximum or minimum value of f(x). Graph the function. f(x)=-(x+2)^2-8 Answer by Fombitz(32388) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The equation is in vertex form where (h,k) is the vertex.
(h,k)=(-2,-8)
The vertex lies on the line of symmetry,
If the parabola opens upwards, the vertex y coordinate is the minimum y value.
If the parabola opens downwards, the vertex y coordinate is the maximum y value.
In this case,
