Since the quadratic is in vertex form where (h,k) is the vertex, we can use this general formula to find the vertex of

Start with the given equation

Rewrite +2 as -(-2)

Notice how h=-2 and k=2. So the vertex is (-2,2)

Notice if you graph the equation you can see that the vertex is (-2,2). So this verifies our answer.
