First we find the vertex of parabola 
The vertex of parabola is
Here,
b = coefficient of x term
a = coefficient of x² term
For given parabola, b = 0 , a = -12
So,
And,
Thus the vertex of parabola is (0, 7)
To find another point on parabola, substitute x by 1.
So the second point on parabola is (1,-5)
The plot of parabola is shown in image below:
