  1. Write \(x ^ { 2 } - 7 x + 6\) in the form \(( x - a ) ^ { 2 } + b\).
  2. State the coordinates of the minimum point on the graph of \(y = x ^ { 2 } - 7 x + 6\).
  3. Find the coordinates of the points where the graph of \(y = x ^ { 2 } - 7 x + 6\) crosses the axes and sketch the graph.
  4. Show that the graphs of \(y = x ^ { 2 } - 7 x + 6\) and \(y = x ^ { 2 } - 3 x + 4\) intersect only once. Find the \(x\)-coordinate of the point of intersection.
