The answer is C.

To find the vertex, you must use -b/2a. -10/2, which -5 and is also the variable x. Now that we have x, you must plug in -5 to the original quadratic equation to find y.

y = (-5)^2 + 10(-5) + 24

25 + (-50) +24 = -1

x = -5
y = -1

C.

The vertex of a quadratic function can be calculated as:


(- (b)/(2a),y( (-b)/(2a))

b = coefficient of x term = 10
a = coefficient of squared term = 1

So,


- (b)/(2a)=- (10)/(2)=-5 \\ \\ y( (-b)/(2a))=y(-5) \\ \\ =(-5)^(2) +10(-5)+24 \\ \\ =-1

Thus, the coordinates of vertex for the given parabola are (-5, -1)

So, option C is the correct answer.
