(2,11),x=2

Explanation:

given the equation of a parabola in standard form

xy=ax2+bx+cx;a0

then the x-coordinate of the vertex which is also the
axis of symmetry is

xvertex=b2a

f(x)=x2+4x+7 is in standard form

with a=1,b=4,c=7

xvertex=42=2

substitute this value into the equation for y-coordinate

yvertex=4+8+7=11

vertex =(2,11)

axis of symmetry is x=2
