Refer Explanation

Given -

$y=(x-2)^2+1$

The equation is in the form $y=(x-h)+k$ , then the vertex $(h,k)$ .

In the given equation the vertex is $(2,1)$

Its y-intercept.

At $x=0; y=(0-2)^2+1=4+1=5$

y-intercept $(0,5)$

Its y - intercept $(0,5)$ is above the vertex $(2,1)$ the curve opens up. Hence it has no x-intercept.
