How do you calculate the X and Y coordinates of the vertex when the equation is in standard form?

If the quadratic is y = a*x^2 + b*x + c

the coordinates of the vertex are:

x = -b/2a

y = (1/2a)*( -0.5*b^2 + c)

How to find the coordinates of the vertex?

For a quadratic equation in standard form:

y = a*x^2 + b*x + c

The x-value of the vertex is given as:

x = -b/2a

Once we get the x-value of the vertex, we can get the y-value by evaluating the quadratic equation in x = -b/2a, we will get:

y = a*(-b/2a)^2 + b*(-b/2a) + c

y = b^2/(4a) - b^2/2a + c = (1/2a)*(b^2/2  - b^2 + c)

y = (1/2a)*( -0.5*b^2 + c)

Then the coordinates of the vertex are:

x = -b/2a

y = (1/2a)*( -0.5*b^2 + c)
