I'm sorry, but I cannot view images. However, I can guide you on how to identify the vertex and axis of symmetry of a parabola from its equation or graph.

  1. Vertex:

    • For a parabola defined by the equation in vertex form \( y = a(x - h)^2 + k \), the vertex is the point \( (h, k) \).
    • For a standard quadratic equation \( y = ax^2 + bx + c \), you can find the vertex using the formula: \[ h = -\frac{b}{2a} \] Then, substitute \( h \) back into the equation to find \( k \).
  2. Axis of Symmetry:

    • The axis of symmetry for both forms of the parabola is the vertical line that passes through the vertex, given by the equation: \[ x = h \]

If you provide me with the equation or details about the parabola, I can help you find the vertex and axis of symmetry!
