Question

Draw the graph of y = x² – 4x + 3. Identify the intercepts (x and y), the vertex, and the axis of symmetry.

Answer 1

Answer:

y-intercept : 3

x-intercepts are 1 and 2

Vertex is at (2,-1)

Axis of symmetry is at x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

See attached graph.

The equation y = x² – 4x + 3 represents a parabola

y-intercept at is at B(0,3); y-intercept is 3

x-intercept points at C(1,0) and D(3,0) so x-intercepts are 1 and 3

The vertex is the lowest point on this parabola (2-1)

Axis of symmetry is a line passing through the vertex and dividing the parabola into two equal halves. This is the vertical line x = 2
