Question

The axis of symmetry of a parabola is x=2. The Parabola crosses the x-axis at the point (5.5,0) At what other point does the parabola cross the x-axis

Answer 1

Answer:

(- 1.5, 0 )

Step-by-step explanation:

The axis of symmetry is midway between the x- intercepts , where it crosses the x- axis, then

5.5 - 2 = 3.5 ← distance from x = 2 to (5.5, 0 )

The other x- intercept is to the left of x = 2

2 - 3.5 = - 1.5

The parabola crosses the x- axis at (- 1.5, 0 )
