Answer

Vertex is $(-1,9)$ x-intercepts are $(-4, 0)$ and $(2, 0)$ y-intercept is $(0,8)$

Work Step by Step

$f(x)=-x^2-2x+8$ $y=-x^2-2x+8$ $y=(x+4)(-x+2)$ $x=0$ $y=-x^2-2x+8$ $y=-(0)^2-2*0+8$ $y=-0-0+8$ $y=8$ $y=-x^2-2x+8$ $y*-1=-1*(-x^2-2x+8)$ $-y=x^2+2x-8$ $8-y=x^2+2x$ $8-y+(2/2)^2=x^2+2x+(2/2)^2$ $8-y+1^2=x^2+2x+(1)^2$ $8-y+1=x^2+2x+1$ $9-y=x^2+2x+1$ $9-y=(x+1)^2$ Vertex at $(-1,9)$ $0=(x+4)(-x+2)$ $x+4=0$ $x=-4$ $-x+2=0$ $-x=-2$ $-1*-x=-1*-2$ $x=2$
