Answer:

(4, -15)

Explanation:

We assume you want the vertex of ...

y = x² -8x +1

We can add and subtract 16 to complete the square.

y = x² -8x +16 +1 -16

y = (x -4)² -15

Compare to the vertex form ...

y = (x -h)² +k . . . . . . . quadratic with vertex (h, k)

We see that the vertex of the given function is ...

(h, k) = (4, -15)
