To identify the key features of the parabola, I would typically analyze the graph for specific coordinate points. Since I do not have access to the image, I can guide you on how to determine these features:

  1. Vertex: The vertex is the highest or lowest point on the parabola. You can locate it by identifying where the parabola changes direction.

  2. X-intercepts: These are points where the parabola intersects the x-axis (y=0). You can find them by checking the values of x where the graph touches or crosses the x-axis. The smaller x-intercept will have the lower x-coordinate compared to the larger x-intercept.

  3. Y-intercept: This is the point where the parabola intersects the y-axis (x=0). Check the value of y at x=0 for this point.

If you describe or provide the coordinates visible on the graph, I can help you determine the exact values for these features.
