The graph   of  the general quadratic   equation    y   =   ax^2    +   bx  +   c   is  a
parabola    with    an  axis    of  symmetry    parallel    to  the y-axis.THINGS TO REMEMBER:
Slope-Intercept Form
For any equation    in  the form    y   =   mx  +   b,Slope   FormulaSlopes  of  Parallel    and Perpendicular   Lines
Parallel    lines   have    the same    slope.m   =   slope
b   =   y-intercept
