Answer:

[tex]y=0[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation in vertex form of a horizontal parabola is equal to

[tex]x=(y-k)^{2} +h[/tex]

where

(h,k) is the vertex

and the axis of symmetry is the y -coordinate of the vertex

so

[tex]y=k[/tex]

In this problem we have

[tex]y^{2}=-8x[/tex]  ----> is a horizontal parabola open to the left

The vertex is the origin

therefore

the equation of the axis of symmetry is equal to

[tex]y=0[/tex]
