axis y=x^2-5x-6

axis

y = x^{2} - 5 x - 6

x = \frac{5}{2}

Solution steps

y = x^{2} - 5 x - 6

Rewrite

y = x^{2} - 5 x - 6

in the standard form

4 \cdot \frac{1}{4} (y - (- \frac{49}{4})) = (x - \frac{5}{2})^{2}

Therefore parabola properties are:

(h, k) = (\frac{5}{2}, - \frac{49}{4}), p = \frac{1}{4}

Parabola is of the form

4 p (y - k) = (x - h)^{2}

and is symmetric around the

y

-axis

Axis of symmetry is a line parallel to the

y

-axis which intersects the vertex:

x = \frac{5}{2}

y = 2 x^{2} + 5 x + 2

y = - 3 x^{2} - 12 x - 9

y = x^{2} - 10 x + 24

y = x^{2} - 5 x 3

y^{2} = - 16 x
