Question 74019: I need help on one of the questions on my final study guide.
A quadratic function g has a vertex (2,3) and passes through the point of (0,6). Write the equation of the axis of symmetry of the graph of g.
Thank you.

A quadratic function g has a vertex (2,3) and passes through the point of (0,6). Write the equation of the axis of symmetry of the graph of g.
-------------
Plot the two points and sketch the possible two parabolas that could
have that vertex and pass through that point; one parabola could open
up, another could open to the left.
--------------
Let's assume it opens up.
Then the axis of symmetry is a vertical line passing through (2,3)
The equation of that line is x=2.
--------------
If you assume the paragola opens to the left
the axis of symmetry is a horizontal line passing through (2,3)
The equation of hat line is y=3.
