You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If your equation is in vertex form, then the axis of is
x= h in the general vertex form equation y = (x-h)2 + k
If your equation is in standard form, then the formula for the axis of symmetry is:
x = -b/2a from the general standard form equation y = ax2+bx + c
