Finding the axis of symmetry for a parabola and graph

The video tutorial explains how to find the axis of symmetry for a quadratic function. It begins with a graphical approach, using transformations to determine the axis of symmetry by shifting the graph. The tutorial then introduces an algebraic method, using the formula for the axis of symmetry, which involves rewriting the function in standard quadratic form. Both methods are shown to yield the same result, demonstrating the consistency between graphical and algebraic approaches.
