Question

Y=-|x-5|
What is the axis of symmetry?

Answer 1

The equation given to us is in the Standard form

y

=

a

x

2

+

b

x

+

c

where

a

=

1

,

b

=

0

and

c

=

−

1

The Axis of Symmetry is given by the formula

x

=

−

b

2

a

x

=

−

0

2

⋅

1

x

=

0

is the Axis of Symmetry of the Parabola with the equation

y

=

x

2

−

1

Explanation:

Answer 2

The axis of symmetry would be x=5
