Solution

The vertex of a parabola given in the form y = ax^2 + bx + c is given by the point (h, k), where h = -b/2a and k is the value of the function at h.

Given the equation y = -x^2 + 10x - 27, we can see that a = -1, b = 10, and c = -27.

First, let's find h: h = -b/2a = -10/(2*-1) = 5

Next, let's find k by substituting h = 5 into the equation: k = -(5)^2 + 10*5 - 27 = -25 + 50 - 27 = -2

So, the vertex of the parabola is (5, -2).
