Graph the equation y= f(x)= x^2 + 2x - 3 . Find the x-intercept(s), y-intercept(s) and the vertex. All 3 of these should be written as coordinate pairs

(x, y). Also write the equation of the axis of symmetry and show it on the graph.You need to circle your answers and show your work, step by step.

a. x-intercept(s) _____________

b. y-intercept ____________

c. Vertex _____________

d. Axis of symmetry ___________

e. Graph the parabola by hand using the points you found above. Label each point clearly using the coordinates (x, y).
