It seems like there might have been an issue with the image not being included. However, I can help you understand how to identify the vertex and axis of symmetry of a parabola based on its general form.
-
Vertex: The vertex of a parabola in standard form \(y = ax^2 + bx + c\) can be found using the formula: \[ x = -\frac{b}{2a} \] Once you find the x-coordinate, substitute it back into the equation to find the y-coordinate of the vertex.
-
Axis of Symmetry: The axis of symmetry is a vertical line that passes through the vertex. It can be expressed as: \[ x = -\frac{b}{2a} \]
If you can provide the equation or relevant details about the parabola, I can help you calculate the vertex and axis of symmetry!
