Answer:

y = − 1 2 ⋅ ( x + 2 ) 2 − 1

Explanation:

To convert a quadratic from y = ax2 + bx + c form to vertex form, y = a(x - h)2+ k, you use the process of completing the square. Let's see an example. Convert y = 2x2 - 4x + 5 into vertex form, and state the vertex. Equation in y = ax2 + bx + c form.

Very glad I could help you!1
