help me brake it down to figure it out thank you. Answer by mukhopadhyay(490) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! I think you are asking to translate y=x^2-4x-5 to a form y=(x - h)^2+k
y=x^2-4x-5
=>y=(x^2-4x)-5
=>y=(x^2-2*2x)-5
=>y=(x^2-2*2x+2^2-2^2)-5
=>y=(x^2-2*2x+2^2)-2^2-5
=>y=(x-2)^2-4-5
=>y=(x-2)^2+(-9)
We translated the original equation into a desirable form where h=2 and k=-9.
