Identify the quadratic function given: \(y=\frac{1}{2}x^{2} - 5x\).
Recall that the general form of a quadratic function is $y = ax^{2} + bx + c$, where \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\) are constants.
Focus on the coefficient \(a\) of the \(x^{2}\) term, which determines the direction the parabola opens.
Since \(a = \frac{1}{2}\) is positive, the parabola opens upward.
If \(a\) were negative, the parabola would open downward; the parabola never opens to the left or right in this form.
