Answer: The axis of symmetry is x=1.
Explanation:
The given function is,

The degree of the equation is 2. SInce it is a quadratic function therefore the graph of the function is a parabola.
The axis of symmetry of a parabolic function
is a vertical line,

Since the value of a is 5m b is -10 and c is 7, So the axis of symmetry is,



Therefore, the axis of symmetry is x=1.
I estimated it is around or near 360
The distance between two points can be calculated using the following formula:
distance = sqrt [ (x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2]
Now, we are given the two points (5,4) and (1,-2)
Substitute with the given points in the above equation to get the distance as follows:
distance = sqrt [(1-5)^2 + (-2-4)^2]
distance = sqrt [16+36] = sqrt[52]
distance = 2√13 = 7.2111 units
