Vertex is at #(2.5,0.75) #

#y=x-2+(x-3)^2 or y=x-2+x^2-6x+9# or

# y=x^2-5x+7 or y=(x^2-5x) +7# or

#y={x^2-5x +(5/2)^2}-25/4 +7# or

#y=(x-2.5)^2+3/4 or y={x-2.5)^2+0.75 #

Comparing with vertex form of equation

#y = a(x-h)^2+k ; (h,k)# being vertex we find

here #h=2.5 , k=0.75 :.# Vertex is at #(2.5,0.75) # .
