First, let's combine all like terms on the right side of the equation. 

We get the formula

y=5x26x+10

 

Now, it's important to note that the x coordinate of the vertex can be written in the form

b2a for parabolas in the form of y=ax2+bx+c

 

Thus plugging in -5 and -6, we get

x=6/10=3/5=0.6

 

Plugging this back into the equation, we fins that y=11.8

 

Thus the vertex is at (0.6,11.8)

So our answer is (0.6,11.8)

 

Thanks! :)
