Question

5 use the graph below to identify the features of a parabola. select all that apply graph of parabola with labels a, b, c, d, e a the vertex is a maximum b the vertex is a minimum c the label a represents the line of symmetry d the label e represents the line of symmetry e the direction of this parabola is up f the direction of this parabola is down

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze vertex type

The parabola opens upward (since it "opens" like a smile), so the vertex is the lowest point, a minimum. So A is wrong, B is correct.

Step2: Analyze line of symmetry

The line of symmetry is a vertical line through the vertex. Label A is the vertical dashed line (through vertex E), so A represents the line of symmetry. E is the vertex, not the line. So C is correct, D is wrong.

Step3: Analyze parabola direction

The parabola opens upward (as the arms go up), so E is correct, F is wrong.

Answer:

B. The vertex is a minimum, C. The label A represents the line of symmetry, E. The direction of this parabola is up
