How do you determine the line of symmetry. The equation I'm trying to complete is: y = x^2 - 6x + 8

The equation I'm trying to complete is: y = x2 - 6x + 8 Click to expand... x=-b/2a. a=1, b=-6 -1/2(-6) = -1/-12 = 1/12 Then plug 1/12 in for x in the equation. (1/12)^2 - 6(1/12) +8 Find that answer. (1/12, your answer) the line of symmetry is 1/12.
