Complete the Square to put into Standard Form, so you can directly read the vertex coordinates and the symmetry axis.

These will help in understanding:
Changing quadratic equation from General form into Standard Form - video----and there are a couple other videos on that channel which are also helpful
-
LESSON which includes how to Complete The Square

Watch the signs very carefully in handling your example equation.
