Answer:

x = -2

Explanation:

a parabola is symmetric (has a mirror image)

a parabola has ONE vertex (a highest or lowest point).

thus a line that goes through the vertex is it's axis of symmetry.

x = 5 , x=99, x=102 are vertical lines that intersect the x axis no matter what the y value is....

your axis of symmetry is a line that looks like X= SOMETHING

the "something" is the X value of the vertex, which is (-2,3)

this the equation x = -2 is the answer ... see the image
