Question 2 • Algebra II

What is the equation of the axis of symmetry of the graph of y plus 3 x minus 6 is equal to negative 3 times open paren x minus 2 close paren squared plus 4 ?

Answer
A
x is equal to negative 1 sixth
B
x is equal to 2
C
x is equal to 3 halves
D
x is equal to negative 2

Explanation

First isolate y: y = -3(x - 2)² - 3x + 10. Expanding gives y = -3x² + 9x - 2, so the axis of symmetry is x = -b/(2a) = -9/(2 · -3) = 3/2. Therefore, the axis is x = 3/2, choice D.
