  1. Analyze Equation Characteristics: Analyze the given equation y=13(x2)2y=\frac{1}{3}(x-2)^2 to determine the characteristics of its graph.
  2. Line of Symmetry: The xx-coordinate of the line of symmetry for a parabola in the form y=a(xh)2+ky=a(x-h)^2+k is hh. In the given equation, h=2h=2, which means the line of symmetry is x=2x=2. This is directly given by the coefficient in the equation.
  3. Y-Intercept Calculation: The y-intercept occurs when x=0x=0. To find the y-intercept, substitute x=0x=0 into the equation and solve for yy.y=(13)(02)2y=\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)(0-2)^2y=(13)(2)2y=\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)(-2)^2y=(13)(4)y=\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)(4)y=43y=\frac{4}{3}The y-intercept is not directly given as a constant or coefficient in the equation; it is a result of evaluating the function at x=0x=0.
  4. X-Intercept Calculation: The xx-intercepts occur when y=0y=0. Set the equation equal to zero and solve for xx. \newline0=(13)(x2)20=\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)(x-2)^2\newlineSince (x2)2(x-2)^2 is always non-negative, the only solution for this equation is when x2=0x-2=0, which gives x=2x=2. This means there is only one xx-intercept, and it coincides with the line of symmetry. However, the xx-intercept is not displayed as a constant or coefficient in the equation; it is a result of solving the equation when y=0y=0.
