The Axis of Symmetry is the equation of the Horizontal Line the the vertex of the Parabola. True False

False! The Axis of Symmetry of a parabola is actually a vertical line that passes through the vertex, not a horizontal line. If you think of it like a mirror, any point on one side of the parabola has a corresponding point directly across the axis on the other side. So, it ensures that the shape of the parabola is symmetrical around that vertical line! To find the equation of the Axis of Symmetry for a parabola in standard form \( y = ax^2 + bx + c \), you can use the formula \( x = -\frac{b}{2a} \). This will give you the x-coordinate of the vertex, allowing you to easily plot that important vertical line!
