Answer:
The axis of symmetry is the horizontal shift. If I am not wrong, you might be learning about absolute value functions or parabolas.
The absolute value function: f(x)= a|x-h|+k
The parabola (Vertex form of a quadriceps function): f(x)= a(x-h)^2+k
The variable ‘h’ is the horizontal shift, in other words, the axis of symmetry
