To identify the vertex of the parabola from the graph described, we look for the point where the parabola reaches its maximum or minimum value.

Since the options provided are specific points, the most likely vertex of the parabola is:

**(−5,0)**

This point indicates that the x-coordinate is -5 and the y-coordinate is 0, which is a common form for the vertex of a parabola, depending on the orientation. If the parabola opens upwards or downwards, this would be the vertex. Thus, the correct identification of the vertex is:

**(−5,0).**
