What is the vertex of # y= x^2 - 2x - 15#? Algebra Quadratic Equations and Functions Quadratic Functions and Their Graphs 1 Answer Binayaka C. May 26, 2016 Vertex is at #(1,-16)# Explanation: #y=x^2-2x-15 or y= (x-1)^2-16 # We know, equation of parabola in vertex form is #y=a(x-h)^2+k# where #(h,k)# is the vertex. So here the vertex is at #(1,-16)# graph{x^2-2x-15 [-40, 40, -20, 20]}[Ans] Answer link Related questions What are the important features of the graphs of quadratic functions?
