Question 91772: Hello out there,I need some help with some really hard problems,the first one is,Find the axis of symmetry for y=x^-2.The next one is,Find the vertex for y=x^-2.The third one is,Describe how the graph of y=x^2-1 changes from the parent graph of y=x^2.And the last one is,Describe how the graph of y=(xnegative6)+5 changes from the parent graph of y=x^2.Thanks to whoever can help.

Answers:
1) notice that the exponent is -2, an even number so it is symmetric about y axis
see graph below:

2)the vertex is infinity, when x approaches 0, approaches infinity
3)If you move the graph of one unit to downwards, you get the
graph of
see graph below
-- red; -- green

4) I am not sure if your question is a valid one or not. Basically these two have nothing to do with each other. See graph below.
