Given the equation of the parabola:


y=x^2-6x+5

Find the vertex form of the parabola.

Given a vertical parabola with the vertex located at (h,k) and leading coefficient of a, the vertex form of the parabola is:


y=a(x-h)^2+k

To find the vertex form of the parabola, we must complete squares of the given equation.

Add and subtract 9 to the equation:


y=x^2-6x+9+5-9
