You can put this solution on YOUR website!
In the general equation (y-k)^2 = a(x-h), the line of symmetry is a horizontal line and it is the equation y = k\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In this case, the value of k is k = -1, so the answer is y = -1 (this is the horizontal line at y = -1) \n" ); document.write( "
