How do we graph prabolas ?

A parabola is a U shaped graph . To graph a parabola you need to know how to identify the axis of symmetry and the vertex.

The Axis of Symmetry: the graph looks identical on both sides of the line of symmetry ( the axis of symmetry line )

Vertex : the Lowest point of the parabola that opens up , or the highest point of the parabola that opens down.  

                      Step 1 : Make a table

                    Step 2 : Graph the table 

This is what a parabola should look like , it also can be upside down .

         That is how you graph a parabola, Done ! Yay !
