Answer:

Equation of axis of symmetry is x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the parabola is given as;

y = -2x² + 8x - 7

The equation of the axis of symmetry is given by;

x = -b/2a

In the parabola equation given and using letters of quadratic equation, we can say that;

a = - 2

b = 8.

c = -7

Thus;

x = -b/2a = -8/(2 × - 2)

x = 8/4

x = 2

Equation of axis of symmetry is x = 2

The formula used to find the length of a line segment is the same formula as the Pythagoras theorem.

We take CD as the hypotenuse of the right-angled triangle and the distance between the x-coordinates and y-coordinates as the length of two short sides.

We can write the formula as
CD = $\sqrt{( x_{1}- x_{0}) ^{2}+ ( y_{1}- y_{0}) ^{2} }$
CD = $\sqrt{(a-0)^{2}+ (b-b)^{2} }$
