The axis of symmetry for a function in the form f of x is equal to x squared plus 4 x minus 5 is x is equal to negative 2 What are the coordinates of the vertex of the graph?

The vertex lies on the axis of symmetry, so its x-coordinate is −2. Substitute −2 into f(x) = x² + 4x − 5: f(−2) = 4 − 8 − 5 = −9. Therefore, the vertex is (−2, −9), which is choice C.
