y=-2x^2-12x-10to find the x value of the vertex find the axis of symmetry which is -b/2a=12/2(-2)=-3to find the y value of the vertex sub the axis of symmetry back into the original equation. y=-2(-3)^2-12(-3)-10y=8vertex=(-3,8)to put it into vertex form use y=a(x-h)^2 +k where h and k are the x and y values of the vertex respectively. y=-2(x--3)^2 +8y=-2(x+3)^2+8to find the x intercept let y=0-2x^2-12x-10=0x^2+6x+5=0 use quad formula and you will get x=-5 and -1to find the y intercept let x=0y= -2(0)^2-12(0)-10y=-10
