Answer:

Plot and connect (5,4), (3,0) and (7,0).

Explanation:

This is in factored form and can be graphed directly from the equation. The equation shows the x-intercepts.

The x-intercepts are found by solving for x using the zero product rule.

(x-3)=0 so x = 3

(x-7) = 0 so x = 7

The intercepts are (3,0) and (7,0). Plot the points. The vertex will occur halfway between these points. 7-3 / 2 = 4/2 = 2. This means the axis of symmetry is at x = 5 and this is the x-coordinate of the vertex too.

Substitute x = 5 into the equation and solve for y.

-(5-3)(5-7) = -(2)(-2) = 4

The vertex is (5,4). Plot it and connect the points.
