The given parabola is:


y=-3x^2+3x-6

It is written in the form:


y=ax^2+bx+c

The axis of symmetry is given by the following formula:


x=-(b)/(2a)

Where a=-3 and b=3. Replace these values and solve for x:


\begin{gathered} x=-(3)/(2(-3))=-(3)/(-6)=(3)/(6) \\ \text{Divide numerator and denominator by 3 to simplify} \\ x=(3/3)/(6/3)=(1)/(2) \end{gathered}

Therefore, the axis of symmetry is x=1/2
