Answer

Vertex: $(3,0)$ x-intercept: $(3,0)$ y-intercept: $(0,-9)$

Work Step by Step

$f(x)=-x^2+6x-9$ $a=-1$, $b=6$, $c=-9$ Vertex is at $x=-b/2a$ $x=-6/2*-1$ $x=-6/-2$ $x=3$ $f(x)=-x^2+6x-9$ $f(3)=-3^2+6*3-9$ $f(3)=-9+18-9$ $f(3)=0$ $(3,0)$ is the vertex and is the x-intercept. $x=0$ $f(x)=-x^2+6x-9$ $f(0)=-0^2+6*0-9$ $f(0)=-0+0-9$ $f(0)=-9$
