Answer

Vertex: $(-1,4)$

Work Step by Step

The graphing form of a "sleeping" or sideways parabola is: $x = a(y-k)² + h $ To find the vertex, take the inverse of k to get the y point of the vertex, and the h as itself for the x point of the vertex. So in the equation: $x=(y-4)^2-1$ The vertex is: $(-1,4)$
