Identify at least the x-coordinate of the vertex.
referring to ax^2+bx+c,
a=-1,b=-10
Vertex goes through line of symmetry

The line of symmetry, which goes through the vertex, is found from the general form equation using completing the square to put into standard form, allowing the vertex coordinates to be read from the equation.

For other points to pick and plot, pick any two x values to the left of -5 and any two values to the right of -5, and find the y values for each of them.
