    equation y = −16x2 + 16x + 5, where y represents the height of the ball at x seconds.

    the value of y .

    The vertex lies at . Because a is negative, the graph opens down, and the vertex is a maximum.

    Step 3  Find the y-intercept. Use the original equation, and substitute 0 for x.

    The y-intercept is (0, 5). Step 4  The axis of symmetry divides the parabola into two equal parts. So if there is a point on one side, there is a corresponding point on the other side that is the same distance from the axis of symmetry and has the same y-value.

      Step 5  Connect the points with a smooth curve.
