Step 1
Find the equation of the axis of symmetry
[tex]\begin{gathered} From\text{ the graph the zeroes are} \\ x=-2 \\ \text{and} \\ x=4 \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Hence the function is } \\ y=(x+2)(x-4) \\ y=x^2-4x+2x-8 \\ y=x^2-2x-8 \end{gathered}[/tex]
The equation of symmetry is given as
[tex]\begin{gathered} x=\frac{-b}{2a} \\ b=-2 \\ a=1 \\ c=-8 \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} x=\frac{-(-2)}{2(1)} \\ x=\frac{2}{2}=1 \\ x=1 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Step 2
Find the x-intercepts
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{From the graph, the x-intercepts are}; \\ (4,0),(-2,0) \end{gathered}[/tex]
Step 3
Find the y-intercepts
[tex]y\text{-intercept; (0,-8)}[/tex]
Step 4
Find the coordinates of the vertex
[tex]The\text{ coordinates of the Vertex ; (1,-9)}[/tex]
