Answer:

Vertex is (4,1)

Explanation:

x=-b/2a so you need to first divide the b (second term) by the a (first term) so you should get 1 as your new a and -8 as your new b. Negative (-8) is just 8 then divide that by 2(1) which is just 2 which equals 4. That is your x. To find your y, you plug your x back into the original equation and then solve it. Hope this helps!
