Answer

$(-3,-4)$

Work Step by Step

The standard form of the given quadratic function, $f(x)= x^2+6x+5 ,$ is \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} f(x)=\left( x^2+6x \right)+5 \\\\ f(x)=\left( x^2+6x+\left( \dfrac{6}{2} \right)^2 \right)+5-\left( \dfrac{6}{2} \right)^2 \\\\ f(x)=\left( x^2+6x+9 \right)+5-9 \\\\ f(x)=\left( x+3 \right)^2-4 .\end{array} Since the vertex of $f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k$ is at $(h,k)$, then the vertex of the equation above is \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} (-3,-4) .\end{array}
