1. Find the equation of the axis of symmetry of the graph of $y = (x + 3)^2 - 5$.
2. Find the equation of the axis of symmetry of the parabola.
Enter the answer as an equation.
Hi TheNorthStar!
First Problem
So the vertex of the parabola is at (-3, -5)
So the line of symmetry is at x = -3.
Second Problem
If we assume that each box of the graph is 1, then the line at symetry is when x = 2.
I hope this helped. :)))
For me personally, I love using desmos to help me solve and visualize these problems.
