Answer:

x-intercepts -1, 5.

Vertex is at (2, -9).

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x^2 - 4x - 5

Completing the square:

y = (x - 2)^2 - 2^2 - 5

y = (x - 2)^2 - 9   which is vertex form.

So the coordinate of the vertex are (2, -9).

Finding the x-intercepts:

(x - 2)^2 - 9 = 0

(x - 2)^2 = 9

x - 2 = +/- 3

x =  3 + 2  or -3+2

= 5, -1.
