Question

Part 1: Identify key features and graph a parabola from standard form.

Answer the following questions to determine the key features of the parabola based on the
equation shown, and then graph it
12(x + 3) = (y-2)^2


a) What is the axis of symmetry of the parabola? Explain how to determine this from the equation (1
point)


b) What is the vertex of the parabola? (1 point)


c) What is the focus of the parabola? (2 points)


d) What is the directrix of the parabola? (2 points)


e) Sketch a graph of the parabola and label the vertex,focus, directrix, and axis of symmetry (4 points)
