A quadratic graph is produced when you have an equation of the form \(y = ax^2 + bx + c\), where \(b\) and \(c\) can be zero but \(a\) cannot be zero. All quadratic graphs have a line of symmetry.
Quadratic graph lines are U- or Õˆ-shaped, which is called a parabola. A linear graph can be drawn using only three points. A quadratic graph is a curve, so more points are plotted to support accuracy.
This jingle has helped generations of algebra students recall the quadratic formula that solves every equation of the form $latex ax^2+bx+c=0$. The formula is as ...
