SOLUTION: Can someone please For the function y = x2 - 6x + 8, perform the following tasks: Put the function in the form y = a(x - h)2 + k and What is the equation for the line of symmetry

Question 85409: Can someone please For the function y = x2 - 6x + 8, perform the following tasks: Put the function in the form y = a(x - h)2 + k and What is the equation for the line of symmetry for the graph of this function?

Answer by Nate(3500) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y = x^2 - 6x + 8
y - 8 = x^2 - 6x
y - 8 + 9 = (x - 3)^2
y + 1 = (x - 3)^2
y = (x - 3)^2 - 1
Vertical Parabol ~> Axis of Symmetry ~> x = 3
