y=x^2 - 10x +2


Use the form ax^2 + bx + c to find the values of a, b,and c.

a = 1 ( no number in front of the x^2)

b = 10

c = 2


Vertex form is a(x+d)^2 + e

Solve for d using d= b/2a

d = 10 / 2

d = 5


Find e using e = c - b^2/4a

e = 2 - 10^2/4

e = 2 - 25

e = -23


Vertex = d,e

Vertex = (5, -23)
