Answer:
Vertex is (-8, 4) not one of the answers offered!
Step-by-step explanation:
Factor -1/8 out of the first two terms. Leave a space inside parentheses in which to add a number.
Complete the square by squaring half the coefficient of <em>x </em>and adding it in the space.
Add 64 in the space you made, then compensate for that at the end of the expression by <u>subtracting</u>
The x-coordinate of the vertex is the <u>opposite</u> of +8, the number inside the parentheses. The y-coordinate of the vertex is the number at the end of the expression.
V(-8, 4)
