Answer:

     y = x^2 -4x +5

Step-by-step explanation:

There are an infinite number of such equations. If we choose the leading coefficient to be 1, then we can find the other coefficients from ...

  y = x^2 +bx +c

  2 = 1^2 +b(1) +c   ⇒   b + c = 1

  10 = 5^2 +b(5) +c   ⇒   5b +c = -15

Subtracting the first equation from the second gives ...

  (5b +c) -(b +c) = (-15) -(1)

  4b = -16

  b = -4

  c = 1 -b = 1 -(-4) = 5

The quadratic function could be ...

  y = x^2 -4x +5
