The vertex is (-3.5, - 4.5). You can see this values right in the equation because it is in vertex form.

The axis of symmetry will go vertically through the vertex, so it is x = - 3.5.

The zeros are (-5, 0) and (-2, 0). You can find those by graphing it or setting the left side equal to 0 and solving for x.
