What is the coordinates of the turning point of the graph of the function y=x^2-6x+5.

The turning point of y+=+ax%5E2%2Bbx%2Bc is %22%28%22-b%2F2%22%2C%22-d%2F4%22%29%22

where d=b%5E2-4ac

For y+=+1x%5E2-6x%2B5, a=1, b=-6, c=5

d=b%5E2-4ac=%28-6%29%5E2-4%281%29%285%29=36-20=16

Turning point = %22%28%22-b%2F2%22%2C%22-d%2F4%22%29%22%22=%22%22%28%22%22%28%22-%28-6%29%2F2%22%2C%22-%2816%29%2F4%22%29%22%22=%22%22%28%22-%28-3%29%22%2C%22-4%22%29%22%22=%22%22%28%223%22%2C%22-4%22%29%22%22=%22
