x=1/2

Explanation:

"the axis of symmetry passes through the vertex, is a vertical"
"line with equation x = c where c is the value of the "
"x-coordinate of the vertex"

"for a parabola in standard form "y=ax^2+bx+c

x_(color(red)"vertex")=-b/(2a)

y=-x^2+x+3" is in standard form"

"with "a=-1,b=1,c=3

rArrx_(color(red)"vertex")=-1/(-2)=1/2

rArr"axis of symmetry is "x=1/2 graph{(y+x^2-x-3)(y-1000x+500)=0 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
