Exercise 69 Page 102

The axis of symmetry is the vertical line that goes through the vertex and divides the parabola into congruent halves.

Who is correct? Chase
Explanation: See solution.

Practice makes perfect
Recall that the axis of symmetry is the vertical line that goes through the vertex and divides the parabola into congruent halves. Let's start by determining the axis of symmetry of the given graph.

As we can see above, the axis of symmetry of the graph is the line x=1.5. Next, let's consider the description.

Since the vertex is located at (2,2), its axis of symmetry is the line x=2. Therefore, the graph and the description do not have the same axis of symmetry. Chase is correct.
