What is the point or line of symmetry for the graph of (x-7)^2-2

Question

I do not understand where to approach this from. The question is above.

Answer 1

Hello, Alex

What we have here is a parabola written in the y=a(x-h)^2+k

(h,k) is the vertex of the parabola.  So, this parabola has a vertex at (7,-2).  Since this is a parabola that is concave up, the line of symmetry will be a vertical line passing through point (7, -2). So, it must be x=7.  This is the axis of symmetry.

 

i hope this helps out.
