Whenever the equation is given in a completed square form, these are what we need

1. Smiley or sad? Based on the signage of the coefficient of x^2; if positive it’s smiley; if negative it’s sad

2. Locate turning point; x-coordinate is found by setting term in brackets to 0 (here, x - 5 = 0); term outside the brackets is the y-coordinate of the turning point (here, 16)

3. Evaluate y-intercept

4. Draw the graph, by marking out the position of the y-intercept and the turning point; these two points are sufficient to draw the curve since the curve is going to turn at the turning point anyway

The x-intercepts are not required for completed square graphs, because sometimes they don’t even exist (as is the case here). Note that there is always one turning point and always one y-intercept for quadratic graphs.
