The equation is already in vertex form.
\n" ); document.write( "The vertex occurs at ( $\"-5\"$ , $\"2\"$ ).
\n" ); document.write( "The axis of symmetry is $\"x=-5\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "The parabola opens upwards since $\"%281%2F4%29%3E0\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "Since it opens upwards then the minimum occurs at the vertex $\"y%5Bmin%5D=2\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "
