Answer 1

To identify the vertex and axis of symmetry of a parabola, we typically look at the graph where the parabola opens. The vertex is the highest or lowest point on the curve, depending on whether the parabola opens upwards or downwards. The axis of symmetry is a vertical line that passes through the vertex and divides the parabola into two mirror-image halves.

Since I don't have access to the image you mentioned, I can't provide specific values for the vertex and axis of symmetry. However, here’s how you can find these values:

1. Vertex: Locate the highest or lowest point on the parabola. This point is represented as \( (h, k) \), where \( h \) is the x-coordinate and \( k \) is the y-coordinate.

2. Axis of Symmetry: This is a vertical line described by the equation \( x = h \), where \( h \) is the x-coordinate of the vertex.

If you can describe the graph or provide specific coordinates, I can help you determine the vertex and the axis of symmetry.
