● To solve using
intercept form we set
y = 0 and find the
roots, (p, 0) and (q, 0) .
To find the vertex we
use the formula
p+q
x = 2 then we plug
our x into the
equation to get the
y − v alue of our
vertex.
Forms of Equations Slope Intercept Form Vertex Form
y = mx + b y = a(x − h)2 + k where (h, k )
is the vertex.
Point Slope Form Standard Quadratic Form

Ax + B y = C

Solving Equations To solve if given an equation To solve for a standard


in point slope form we need quadratic form. We can use

we were given (x1 , y 1 ) and m −b±√b2 −4ac
we plug that into our

equation. We use the
distributive property then add
or subtract our y 1 to the other
side.

Alternatively

y − y 1 = m(x − x1 )

(Distribute)

y − y 1 = mx − mx1

(Add y 1 to the other side)

y = mx − mx1 + y 1
