Question 14 • Common Core Algebra I 2014 - MA3109 B-CR

Which is the equation of the axis of symmetry of the graph of y = –3(x – 6)2 + 5?

Answer
A
x = –6
B
x = –5
C
x = 5
D
x = 6

Explanation

In vertex form, y = a(x − h)² + k, the axis of symmetry is x = h. Here the squared term is (x − 6)², so h = 6 and the axis is x = 6. Therefore, the correct choice is D, x = 6.
