In this part you do not have to sketch the graph and you may even be given the sketch of the graph to start with. For a quadratic equation of the form \(y = k{(x - a)^2} + b\), the following ...

From the equation \(y = - {(x + 4)^2} - 5\), write down the co-ordinates and nature of the turning point and the equation of the axis of symmetry. Since \(k = - 1\), then this parabola will have a ...
