Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Given a parabola in standard form
y = ax² + bx + c ( a ≠ 0 ), then
The x- coordinate of the vertex is
[tex]x_{vertex}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{b}{2a}[/tex]
y = x² - 10x + 17 ← is in standard form
with a = 1 and b = - 10, thus
[tex]x_{vertex}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{-10}{2}[/tex] = 5
Substitute x = 5 into the equation for corresponding value of y
y = 5² - 10(5) + 17 = 25 - 50 + 17 = - 8
vertex = (5, - 8 ) → A
