Change the quadratic function into vertex form.

Answer:
(-1, -6)
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Identify the coefficients
a = 1/4 b = 1/2
2. Substitute the coefficients in the equation.
x = -b/2a
3. Solve the equation.
x = -1
4. Evaluate the function for x = -1 (to find y).
5. Calculate the function value.
6. y = -6
