Refer to the graph available with this answer.

Explanation:

We have the quadratic equation

y=(12)x2+4x+10

Axis of Symmetry is given by b2a

So, for our quadratic, Axis of Symmetry = 4(2(12)),
which gives us (4)

Substitute this value of Axis of Symmetry in our original equation to obtain the Vertex.

y=(12)(4)2+4(4)+10

y=(12)1616+10

y=2

So, our Vertex is at (4,2)
