Create a table with some set values of x - usually, I like to do all integers from -3 to 3. For each integer, evaluate the formula by plugging that integer in as x, and write the resulting y value in the other column of your table. (So for example, in y = x2, -3 would correspond to 9, -2 to 4, etc.) Plot the points on a graph, then draw an approximate line to connect the points. You should see a bowl shape emerge when you plot your points.
y=x+1
The parabola
The real solutions are the points at which the graph of the function crosses the x-axis. If the graph never crosses the x-axis, then the solutions are imaginary.
No. It can also be a circle, ellipse or hyperbola.
It is the axis of symmetry.

the graph of a quadratic function is a parabola. hope this helps xP
y=x+1
The zeros of a quadratic function, if they exist, are the values of the variable at which the graph crosses the horizontal axis.
Yes. And the question is ...
The parabola
Some do and some don't. It's possible but not necessary.
The real solutions are the points at which the graph of the function crosses the x-axis. If the graph never crosses the x-axis, then the solutions are imaginary.
Yes.
That the function is a quadratic expression.
Graph the equation then find the x intercepts.
A translation.
