Answer:

a = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

given a quadratic in standard form : y = ax² + bx + c : a ≠ 0

Then the x-coordinate of the vertex is

• x_{vertex} = - \frac{b}{2a}

The line of symmetry passes through the parabola, hence x-coordinate is 4

y = ax² + 8x - 3 is in standard form

with a = a, b = 8 and c = - 3, hence

- \frac{8}{2a} = 4 ( multiply both sides by 2a

- 8 = 8a ( divide both sides by 8 )

a = - 1
