The equation of the parabola given is \( y = 10x^2 - 2x \).

To find the axis of symmetry for a parabola in the form \( y = ax^2 + bx + c \), we can use the formula:

\[ x = -\frac{b}{2a} \]

In this case, we have:

  • \( a = 10 \)
  • \( b = -2 \)

Now, substituting these values into the formula:

\[ x = -\frac{-2}{2 \cdot 10} = \frac{2}{20} = \frac{1}{10} \]

Thus, the equation of the axis of symmetry is:

\[ x = \frac{1}{10} \]
