write it in Vertex Form:x+=+%28y-h%29%5E2%2B+k where (h,k) are (x,y) coordinates of vertex
x+=+y%5E2-14y+%2B+54......complete square
x+=+%28y%5E2-14y%2B___%29-___+%2B+54
x+=+%28y%5E2-14y%2B7%5E2%29-7%5E2+%2B+54
x+=+%28y-7%29%5E2-49+%2B+54
x+=+%28y-7%29%5E2%2B+5 => since x=5 if y=0 we have h=5, then k=7
so, vertex is at (5,7)
