A-Level maths question

For:
a) how do you work out the vertex?
b) when working out the point of intersection why did they neglect the -4 for the first equation? I’ve followed the same method as stated in the mark scheme just confused why they did that

I’ve attached the question and mark scheme below

Yes

oh okay, do you know why the mark scheme neglected the -4 in the first equation when working out the intercepts?
