Answer:

x=-b/2a

Explanation:

axis of symmetry is the line that across the vertex from a parabola(ax^2+bx+c).

The expression to find vertex is -b/2a

Thus, x=-b/2a is a vertical line that across the vertex aka the axis of symmetry.

Answer:

The axis of symmetry always passes through the vertex of the parabola . The x -coordinate of the vertex is the equation of the axis of symmetry of the parabola. For a quadratic function in standard form, y=ax2+bx+c , the axis of symmetry is a vertical line x=−b2a .
