Answer

X-intercepts are $(-1,0)$ and $(5,0)$ Y-intercept is $(0, -5)$ Vertex is $(2, -9)$

Work Step by Step

$f(x)=x^2-4x-5$ $f(x)=(x-5)(x+1)$ $0=(x-5)(x+1)$ $x-5=0$ $x=5$ $x+1=0$ $x=-1$ x-intercepts are $-1, 5$ y-intercept: $f(x)=x^2-4x-5$ $f(0)=0^2-4*0-5$ $f(0)=0-0-5$ $f(0)=-5$ Vertex: $f(x)=x^2-4x-5$ $y=x^2-4x-5$ $y+5=x^2-4x$ $y+5+(1/2*-4)^2=x^2-4x+(1/2*-4)^2$ $y+5+(-2)^2=x^2-4x+(-2)^2$ $y+5+4=x^2-4x+4$ $y+9=(x-2)^2$ $y=(x-2)^2-9$ Vertex of $(2,-9)$
