Consider the graph that represents the following quadratic equation.

y=-1/3(x+2)^2+5

The graph opens upward or downward

The vertex of the graph is (2,5), (-2,-5) or (-2,5)

The axis of symmetry of the graph is x=2 or x=-2

The graph opens upward because the coefficient of the x^2 term is negative.

The vertex of the graph is (-2,5). This can be found by comparing the equation y = -1/3(x + 2)^2 + 5 to the standard form y = a(x - h)^2 + k. In this case, h = -2 and k = 5, giving us the vertex (-2, 5).

The axis of symmetry of the graph is x = -2. This can be determined by identifying the x-coordinate of the vertex.

the graph opens downward because it's negative

Apologies for the oversight in my previous message. You are correct. Since the coefficient of the x^2 term in the equation is negative, the graph of the quadratic equation y = -1/3(x+2)^2 + 5 opens downward. Thank you for pointing that out.
