First, check to see if the equation can be simplified into bracket form. In this case, it can be simplified to (-x + 3)(-x + 7). These brackets identify the zeroes of the quadratic equation; the vertex is always in the middle of the zeros. To find the zeros, set the brackets equal to zero, and now x = 3, 7. 3+7/2 = 10/2 = 5, so the vertex occurs at x = 5. y at x = 5 is -4, so the vertex is (5, -4).
