I need help @ranga

mertsj · Answer

What are you studying?  Where did you get this question?

anonymous · Answer

I am studying Algebra 2, this is for my chapter test

mertsj · Answer

What was the chapter about?

anonymous · Answer

It is about parabolas, graphing translations and functions. Also finding the Axis of symmetry and vertex.

mertsj · Answer

Well, then...what do you think that thing is that you are asking about?

anonymous · Answer

Well, I think the vertex is (2,-3) if I'm not mistaken, but the Axis of Symmetry is what I don't understand how to get it.

mertsj · Answer

Yes.  the vertex is (2,-3)

mertsj · Answer

The axis of symmetry is a vertical line that passes through the vertex.

anonymous · Answer

so it would be 2?
