Assume the expression is:

y = x² - 6x + 5

Complete the squares to get:

y = x² - 6x + 9 + 5 - 9

= (x - 3)² - 4

By the vertex form:

y = a(x - h)² + k where x = h is the axis of symmetry

x = 3 is the axis of symmetry.

What equation is a line of symmetry for this graph (4-8)?

To determine the line of symmetry for the graph of the equation (y = 4x - 8), we need to identify the axis that divides the graph into two mirror-image halves. For linear equations like this one, the line of symmetry is typically vertical and can be found at the midpoint of the x-intercepts. In this case, since the graph is a straight line, it does not have a line of symmetry unless it is horizontal or vertical. Therefore, the concept of a line of symmetry does not apply to this linear equation.

How do you determine if a graph is symmetric with respect to the x axis y axis or origin?

To determine if a graph is symmetric with respect to the x-axis, check if replacing (y) with (-y) in the equation yields an equivalent equation. For y-axis symmetry, replace (x) with (-x) and see if the equation remains unchanged. For origin symmetry, replace both (x) with (-x) and (y) with (-y) and verify if the equation is still the same. If the equation holds true for any of these conditions, the graph exhibits the corresponding symmetry.


Tell whether the graph opens up or down Find the coordinates of the vertex Write an equation of the axis of symmetry for the equation y equals 2x2 plus 3x plus 6?

y = 2x2 + 3x + 6 Since a > 0 (a = 2, b = 3, c = 6) the graph opens upward. The coordinates of the vertex are (-b/2a, f(-b/2a)) = (- 0.75, 4.875). The equation of the axis of symmetry is x = -0.75.
