vertex (-1/2,6 3/4)(12,634)

x=-1/2x=12 is the axis of symmetry

(0,7) is the intercept.

Explanation:

(-b)/(2a)b2a gives the x coordinate for the vertex

-1/212

Put this into the equation

y=1/4-1/2+7y=1412+7

y=6 3/4y=634

when x=0, y=7

when y=0, x=[-1\pmsqrt(1-28)]/21±1282

x=[-1\pmsqrt-27]/2x=1±272 cannot have a negative square root so no solutions
