Answer
The parabola opens upwards.
Work Step by Step
The standard form of a parabola is:
$ax^2+bx+c$,
and whenever the coefficient of a is a positive number, it opens upwards, if it is negative, then it opens downwards.
The given equation is
$y=x^2-7x+5$
and because the coefficient of a is 1, it opens upwards.
