Vertex Form Definition: The vertex form of a parabola's equation is y=a(x−h)2+k, where (h,k) is the vertex of the parabola.
Identifying Vertex Form: In the given equation y=−3(x−2)2+12, we can see that it is already in vertex form. Thus, we can directly read off the vertex (h,k) from the equation.
Determining Vertex Coordinates: Comparing the given equation with the vertex form, we have h=2 and k=12. Therefore, the vertex of the parabola is (2,12).
