Sketching a Quadratic Graph in Vertex Form and Finding Its Line of Symmetry

Secondary 3
  1. Sketch the graph of \(y={{\left( x+2 \right)}^{2}}-1\).
    Indicate clearly the values where the graph crosses the \(x\)- and \(y\)-axes and the turning point
  2. Write down the equation of the line of symmetry.
