Identify the vertex of the parabola on the graph. The vertex is the point where the parabola changes direction, and it appears to be at (3, 0) on this graph.
Understand that the axis of symmetry of a parabola is a vertical line that passes through the vertex. For a parabola in the form y = ax^2 + bx + c, the axis of symmetry can be found using the formula x = -b/(2a).
Since the vertex is at (3, 0), the axis of symmetry is a vertical line passing through x = 3.
Verify the symmetry by observing that the parabola is mirrored on either side of the line x = 3. Points on the parabola equidistant from x = 3 should have the same y-values.
Conclude that the axis of symmetry for the given parabola is x = 3, as it divides the parabola into two mirror-image halves.
