Equation of symmetry is the x coordinate of the vertex. In this equation which is already written in vertex form, the vertex is (-5, 2). Therefore, the equation of symmetry is x = -5 which is A).
I suggest drawing a little diagram of a parabola to see why the line of symmetry is the x coordinate of the vertex. :) Hope I helped.
