Question

The points (-5,26) and (3,26) are located on the same parabola. What is the equation for the axis of symmetry for this parabola.

Answer 1

Answer:

The Axis of Symmetry, or AOS would be X= -1

Step-by-step explanation:

we can add the 2 x co-ordinates together and divide by 2 to get the axis of symmetry, similar to getting the midpoint of a line.

(-5+3) ÷ 2 is equal to -1

We can also check this, both points should be the same distance from the Axis of Symmetry. -5 is 4 away from -1 and 3 is also 4 away from -1
