Sure this question comes with a set of answer choices.
Anyhow, I can help you by determining one equation that can be solved to determine the value of a in the equation.
Since, the two zeros are - 4 and 2, you know that the equation can be factored as the product of (x + 4) and ( x - 2) times a constant. This is, the equation has the form:
y = a(x + 4)(x - 2)
Now, since the point (6,10) belongs to the parabola, you can replace those coordintates to get:
10 = a (6 + 4) (6 - 2)
Therefore, any of these equivalent equations can be solved to determine the value of a:
10 = a 6 + 40) (6 -2)
10 = a (10)(4)
10 = 40a

Step-by-step explanation:
This equation for a parabola is given in vertex form, so it is very simple to extract the coordinates of its vertex, by using the opposite of the number that accompanies the variable "x" in the squared expression (opposite of 2) for the vertex's x-value, and the value of the constant (-6) for the vertex's y-value.
The vertex coordinates are therefore: (-2,-6)
The equation of the axis of symmetry of the parabola is a vertical line passing through the vertex. Since all vertical lines have the shape x = constant in our case, in order to pass through (-2,-6) the vertical line is defined by the equation: x = -2.
See image attached to find the vertex drawn as a red point, and the axis of symmetry as an orange vertical line passing through it.
