Answer:
axis of symmetry: x = 2
see below for a graph
Step-by-step explanation:
You can complete the square to put the equation in vertex form.
y = (x^2 -4x +4) -1 -4
y = (x -2)^2 -5 . . . . . . vertex is (2, -5)
The equation of the axis of symmetry is the equation of the vertical line through the vertex:
x = 2 . . . . . axis of symmetry
__
Points on the graph are easily found by using integer values on either side of x=2. Points on one side of the axis of symmetry are mirrored on the other side of it.
