"The vertex will be at the point " (-1, \ 4)

Explanation:

"Rearrange the formula so that it fits the parabola equation"

y= a( x- h)^2+k

"The vertex will be at the point" (\ h, \ k)

"To rearrange the equation, add one and subtract one"

y=-x^2-2x-color(red)1+3+color(red)1

y=(-x^2-2x-color(red)1)+3+color(red)1

y=-1*(x^2+2x+1)+4

y=-1*(x+1)^2+4

y=-1*(x-(color(red)(-1)))^2+color(red)4

h=-1 " and " k=4

"The vertex will be at the point " (-1, \ 4)

""

"The " x "- intercept is at " x=-3 " and " x=1 "

"The " y "- intercept is at " y=3
