Find the equation of the axis of symmetry of the parabola.
Enter the answer as an equation.
The axis of symmetry is equal to the average of the roots. When we factor \(x^2-2x-3\), we get \((x+1)(x-3)\), so the roots are -1 and 3 as shown in the graph. \(\frac{-1+3}{2} = 1\), so the axis of symmetry is \(x=1\).
Hope this helped
