Here are the answers based on the provided graph:

(a) The parabola opens upward.

(b) Intercepts:

• x-intercept(s): None
• y-intercept(s): (0, 1)

(c) Equation of the axis of symmetry: x = 0

(d) Coordinates of the vertex: (0, -1)

Let me know if you want any explanations or have questions!

Here are 5 related questions to further explore:

1. What is the general form of the equation for a parabola?
2. How can we find the vertex of a parabola from its equation?
3. How do you calculate the y-intercept algebraically?
4. What is the significance of the axis of symmetry in a parabola?
5. How can we determine if a parabola opens upward or downward from its equation?

Tip: The axis of symmetry always passes through the vertex of the parabola.
