$(0,-12)$

This is really just the graph of $y=x^2$ shifted down by 12 units.

This means that for $y=x^2-12,$ the vertex will be similar to that of $y=x^2,$ with the $y-$ coordinate being $12$ smaller.

The vertex of $y=x^2$ is $(0, 0).$ Here, the vertex is $(0, 0-12)=(0,-12)$

What is the vertex of y= x^2– 12 y= x^2– 12?
