Question

If the vertex of a parabola is (0, 3), what is the axis of symmetry

Answer 1

The equation of the axis of symmetry for this parabola is x = 0.

Explanation:

For parabola's, it's axis of symmetry always goes through the vertex of the parabola. In other words, the axis of symmetry is vertical line that goes through the x-coordinate of the vertex.

Now, the vertex is given as (0,3) which is at x = 0, y = 3.

Thus, the vertical line that goes through the x-coordinate of the vertex will be x = 0

Thus, the equation of the axis of symmetry for this parabola is x = 0.
