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 ...
Plotting a graph takes ... for the quadratic graph. The value of \(y\) when \(x = 3\) is -5. This value is always the same as the constant term in the completed square form of the equation.
