Note that the parabola does not have a constant slope. In fact, as x increases by 1 , starting with x = 0 , y increases by 1, 3, 5, 7,… . As x decreases by 1 , starting with x = 0 , y again increases by 1, 3, 5, 7,…
Graphing y = (x - h)2 + k
In the graph of y = x 2 , the point (0, 0) is called the vertex. The vertex is the minimum point in a parabola that opens upward. In a parabola that opens downward, the vertex is the maximum point.
