You can put this solution on YOUR website! Use the graph of y = x^2 + 4x - 5 to answer the following: 
  ----------------------
 a) Without solving the equation or factoring, determine the solution(s) to the
 equation, 4 5 0 2 x x , using only the graph.
 Answer:27,40,-5,7
 -----------------------------------
 Explain how you obtained your answer(s) by looking at the graph in a brief sentence:
 I'll leave that to you.
 -----------------------------------
 b) Does this function have a maximum or a minimum?
 Answer: Minimum because the coefficient of x^2 is positive.
 -------------------------------------
 Explain how you obtained your answer by looking at the graph in a brief sentence::
 c) What are the coordinates of the vertex in (x, y) form?
 Answer: (-2,-9)
 -------------------------
 d) What is the equation of the line of symmetry for this parabola?
 Answer: x = -2
