To identify the vertex of the parabola from the provided options, you would usually look at the graph to see the point at which the parabola changes direction (the highest or lowest point, depending on its orientation).
Without the visual of the graph, I cannot directly state the vertex, but typically the vertex would appear as the single point where the curve does not rise or fall.
Nevertheless, based on the options provided, you can analyze the vertices based on the common forms for the vertex of a parabola, \(y = ax^2 + bx + c\).
Here are the choices given:
- \(x = -5\)
- \((0, 5)\)
- \((0, -5)\)
- \((-5, 0)\)
If the parabola opens upwards or downwards, the vertex is usually expressed as a point \((h, k)\) where it can be one of the provided coordinates.
In the absence of the graph image, if you know that the parabola has its vertex at one of the points, check visually which of the coordinates aligns with the peak or trough of the parabola. You would either choose \((0, 5)\), \((0, -5)\), or \((-5, 0)\) based on whether the vertex is above the x-axis or below it.
Given common vertex points, if the parabola opens upwards and you see a peak at around 5 on the y-axis, then your answer would be \((0, 5)\). If it has no other context, you might choose accordingly.
However, if you're strictly asked for the coordinates of the vertex, normally you would choose \((-5, 0)\) or \((0, 5)\) based on the parabola's direction.
If you can provide me with any details or characteristics of the parabola from the graph, I can help narrow down the right vertex!
