How do I rewrite a quadratic into graphing form

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard form of a quadratic is f(x) = ax² + bx + c.

To convert to vertex form, the simplest method is to find the x-coordinate of the vertex using h = -b/(2a).

Then, plug back into the equation to find the y-coordinate of the vertex.  k = f(h).

Finally, the leading coefficient is the same as the standard form, a.

f(x) = a(x − h)² + k

Another method is to complete the square.
