Answer:

The equation for the axis of symmetry is x=1.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that a quadratic function passes through the points ( − 5 , − 8 ) and ( 8 , − 8 ) .

In the given points y-coordinates are same, i.e., -8. It means both the points lie on the horizontal line y=-8.

If a quadratic function passes through two points (a,c) and (b,c), then the equation for the axis of symmetry is

x=\frac{a+b}{2}

According to the given points a=-5, b=8 and c=-8. Put these value in the above formula.

x=\frac{-5+8}{2}

x=\frac{3}{2}

x=1.5

Therefore the equation for the axis of symmetry is x=1.5.
