What is the y-intercept of the quadratic functionf(x) = (x – 6)(x – 2)?
The graph of the function f(x) = (x + 2)(x + 6) is shown below.

On a coordinate plane, a parabola opens up. It goes through (negative 8, negative 2), has a vertex at (negative 5, negative 6.5), goes through (negative 2, negative 2), and has a y-intercept at (0, 6).

Charla wants to determine the vertex of the function f(x) = x2 – 18x + 60 by changing the function into vertex form. Which statement about the vertex of the function is true?
For all functions of the form f(x) = ax2 + bx + c, which is true when b = 0?
