What is the equation of the line of symmetry for the graph of y = -2(x - 4)2 + 3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For a quadratic equation given in the vertex form as:\[\bf y=a(x-h)^2+k\]The equation of the line of symmetry is at \(\bf x = h\). @nijalww Can you figure out the equation of the line of symmetry now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=4? @genius12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct @nijalww

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This works because \(\bf (h,k)\) is the vertex of the parabola given in that form hence \(\bf x=h\) must be the equation of the line of symmetry. So you got it. @nijalww

Thank you so much, I'll give you a mental now ;)
