Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we don't know the y-value of the vertex, let's do this an easy way: plugging in.

Let's use the y intercept since that would be the easiest. Since x=0, the terms with x cancel, and you will get a leading result of -5

A) results in 2, so eliminate it

B) results in -2, so eliminate it

C) results in 5, so eliminate it

D) results in -5, so keep it

Since D was the only one that worked, that is our correct answer.
