Find the line of symmerty. (1/2 is a fraction)
f(x)=8(x+1/2)^2+17
----
Form: y = 8(x-h)^2 + k
---------
Vertex is (h,k) and axis of symmetry is x = h
--------------------------------------------------
Your Problem
-h = 1/2
h = -(1/2)
----
axis of symmetry : x = -1/2
------------------------------------
