I will show you how to do this in general, and then you can do this problem and any one you encounter like it in the future:

Given:



The -coordinate of the vertex is:



The -coordinate of the vertex is then:



And the equation of the axis of symmetry is:



Bonus fact: The -intercepts, if they exist, are located at:



and the -intercept is located at
