Q. Find the equation of the axis of symmetry for the parabola y=x2+9y = x^2 + 9. \newlineSimplify any numbers and write them as proper fractions, improper fractions, or integers.\newline_____\_\_\_\_\_
  1. Identify values: The axis of symmetry for a parabola given by the equation y=ax2+bx+cy = ax^2 + bx + c is the vertical line x=b2ax = -\frac{b}{2a}. We will use the values of aa and bb that we identified in the previous step to find the axis of symmetry.\newlineSubstitute a=1a = 1 and b=0b = 0 into the formula x=b2ax = -\frac{b}{2a} to find the axis of symmetry.\newlinex=02×1x = -\frac{0}{2 \times 1}\newlinex=0x = 0
