Question

How do I find the equation of the axis of symmetry and the coordinates of the vertex?

Answer 1

For a quadratic function in standard form, y=ax2+bx+c , the axis of symmetry is a vertical line x=−b2a . Example 1: Find the axis of symmetry of the parabola shown. The x -coordinate of the vertex is the equation of the axis of symmetry of the parabola.
