Question

#la:What is the axis of symmetry?*
#16: What is the vertex? *

Answer 1

Vertex: (-1,-4)

Axis of Symmetry: x=-1

Explanation:

The vertex is the minimum of the parabola, or (h,k), which is located at (-1,-4)

The axis of symmetry is a vertical line that marks the halfway point of the parabola, which is equal to x=h. Therefore, the axis of symmetry is x=-1
