The graph is a parabola that passes through the origin.

Work Step by Step

The meaning of c in $f(x)=ax^{2}+bx+c$ is obtained when we observe $f(0)=0+0+c=c$ That is, the graph, which is a parabola, intersects the y-axis in the point $(0,c).$ If c=0, the graph is a parabola that passes through the origin.
