Drawing Quadratic Graphs
Method 1: Table of Values
- Choose x-values around the vertex
- Calculate y-values using the equation
- Plot the points
- Join with a smooth curve
Method 2: Key Points
- Find the vertex
- Find the y-intercept
- Find the x-intercepts (if they exist)
- Use symmetry to find additional points
- Draw smooth curve through all points

Practice Questions for Quadratic Graphs
The quadratic y = -3x² + 2x - 1 has a negative coefficient of x². What shape does this parabola make?
Explain how the sign of the coefficient a in y = ax² + bx + c determines the shape of the parabola. Your answer should refer to both cases: a > 0 and a < 0.
