Answer

Vertex: $(1, -11)$ Opens downward x-intercept: none y-intercept: -12

Work Step by Step

$f(x)=-x^2+2x-12$ $y=-x^2+2x-12$ $y=-(x^2-2x)-12$ $y=-(x^2-2x)+(-2/2)^2-(-2/2)^2-12$ $y=-(x^2-2x)+(-1)^2-(-1)^2-12$ $y=-(x^2-2x)+1-1-12$ $y=-(x^2-2x+1)-11$ $y=-(x-1)^2-11$ Vertex: $(1, -11)$ Opens downward $x=0$ $f(x)=-x^2+2x-12$ $f(0)=-0^2+2*0-12$ $f(0)=-0+0-12$ $f(0)=-12$ There are no x-intercepts since the graph is below the x-axis and opens downward. y-intercept: -12
