Answer:
the equation of the axis of symmetry is
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall that the equation of the axis of symmetry for a parabola with vertical branches like this one, is an equation of a vertical line that passes through the very vertex of the parabola and divides it into its two symmetric branches. Such vertical line would have therefore an expression of the form: , being that constant the very x-coordinate of the vertex.
So we use for that the fact that the x position of the vertex of a parabola of the general form: , is given by:
which in our case becomes:
Then, the equation of the axis of symmetry for this parabola is:
(0,3)

Answer:
10/30 is the fraction of the diagram shade
Substitute first Y for the second Y
So it would be x + x + 6 = -2
Then it would be 2x +6 = -2
Move the 6 over so it would be 2x =-8
Divide by 2 your answer is x = -4
