What is the equation of the axis of symmetry y=x^(2) -6x-7

Question

What is the equation of the axis of symmetry
`y=x^(2) -6x-7`

Answer 1

x=3

Explanation:

to find the axis of symmetry of a parabola when the equation is of the form

y = ax^2 +bx+c, we can use

h = -b/2a where h is the line of symmetry

a =1 b = -6 and c =-7

h = -(-6)/ 2*1

h = 6/2 =3

The axis of symmetry is in the x direction

x=3
