steps-to-graph-a-quadratic-equation

							Steps to graph a quadratic equation:
1. Get it in standard form y  ax 2  bx  c
2. Identify a, b, and c.
                      b
3. Plug these into x
                      2a (this is the axis of symmetry)
4. Plug this x value into the quadratic equation to find y.
    (this is the (x, y) for the vertex)
5. Make an x, y chart using the axis of symmetry as the center.
6. Make the graph by plotting the points.
7. Connect the points with a smooth curve.
