Answer:

  C. 2

Step-by-step explanation:

When the coefficients of the standard-form quadratic are a, b, and c, the equation of the line of symmetry is ...

  x = -b/(2a)

Solving for 'a', we find ...

  a = -b/(2x)

For the given values b=-8 and x=2, the value of 'a' is ...

  a = -(-8)/(2·2) = 8/4 = 2

The value of "a" is 2.
