The vertex is not affected by the direction that the parabola is facing. The vertex is the place where the two sides of the parabola meet. It is in the middle divides the shape in half.
If you picture yourself looking at a bowl from the side and then imagining it as two dimensional, it would look like a parabola but for all of the filled in parts of the graph and the fact that the sides of the bowl don't continue on forever. The vertex is the bottom of the bowl, where the sides meet.
You measure a vertex as you would a point; with a coordinate.

When the coefficient of x2 is negative?
When the coefficient of ( x^2 ) is negative in a quadratic equation, the parabola opens downward. This means that the vertex of the parabola represents a maximum point, and the value of the function decreases on either side of the vertex. Consequently, the graph will touch or cross the x-axis at most twice, indicating that the quadratic can have zero, one, or two real roots.

To find the value of a in a parabola opening up or down subtract the y-value of the parabola at the vertex from the y-value of the point on the parabola that is one unit to the right of the vertex.
What is minimum point?
This is the coordinate of the vertex for a parabola that opens up, defined by a positive value of x^2.
What is the equation of a parabola with a vertex at 0 0 and a focus at 0 6?
The standard equation for a Parabola with is vertex at the origin (0,0) is, x2 = 4cy if the parabola opens vertically upwards/downwards, or y2 = 4cx when the parabola opens sideways. As the focus is at (0,6) then the focus is vertically above the vertex and we have an upward opening parabola. Note that c is the distance from the vertex to the focus and in this case has a value of 6 (a positive number). The equation is thus, x2 = 4*6y = 24y
How does the value of a variable affect the direction the parabola opens?
If the value of the variable is negative then the parabola opens downwards and when the value of variable is positive the parabola opens upward.

How do you tell if a quadratic function is minimum value or a maximum vale?
Standard notation for a quadratic function: y= ax2 + bx + c which forms a parabola, a is positive , minimum value (parabola opens upwards on an x-y graph) a is negative, maximum value (parabola opens downward) See related link.

How does the value of c affect the direction the parabola opens?
if the value is negative, it opens downard
How do you know if a parabola has a minimum or maximum value?
When you look at the parabola if it opens downwards then the parabola has a maximum value (because it is the highest point on the graph) if it opens upward then the parabola has a minimum value (because it's the lowest possible point on the graph)
