Respuesta :
since y = x2 - 8x + 12 is a quadratic equation, it is the same of y=ax²+bx+c
the main formula of the vertex is x= -b/2a, and y=f(-b/2a)
for our case x= -(-8) / 2=4, and f(4)= -4
the answer is B. (4, -4)

Answer:
The correct answer is B. (4, -4)
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of the graph is given to be : y = x² - 8x + 12
Now, comparing the given equation with standard form : ax² + bx + c
⇒ a = 1 , b = -8 and c = 12
[tex]\text{Also, The x-value of the vertex is given by }\frac{-b}{2a}[/tex]
[tex]\text{So, The x-value of the vertex = }\frac{8}{2}=4[/tex]
So, The x-value of the vertex = 4
Now, Putting this value of x in the given equation to find the y-value of the vertex :
⇒ y = 4² - 4 × 8 + 12
⇒ y = 16 - 32 + 12
⇒ y = -4
Hence, The vertex of the given equation is (4, -4)
Therefore, The correct answer is B. (4, -4)
