A worksheet on graphing quadratics from standard form typically involves equations written as \( y = ax^2 + bx + c \), where \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \) are constants. The goal is to graph the quadratic equation by first identifying key features: the vertex, axis of symmetry, and direction of the parabola (whether it opens upward or downward). The vertex can be found using the formula \( x = -\frac{b}{2a} \), and plugging this value into the equation gives the y-coordinate of the vertex. The axis of symmetry is the vertical line \( x = -\frac{b}{2a} \). Additional points can be plotted by choosing values of \( x \) and calculating corresponding \( y \)-values. The answer key should include graphs with correct vertices, axis of symmetry, and appropriate points plotted to visualize the parabola.
