Hello. I need to know how to solve: find the vertex of the equation: y=-3x^2-4x+9.plueze help!

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

\[Vertex = (-\frac23, \frac{31}{2})\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks. would you show the work? I need to know step by step. thanks.

OpenStudy (precal):

there is a formula for the vertex.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Shortcut: -b/2a. \[-\frac{-4}{2(-3)}\to - \frac{-4}{-6} \to -\frac12\]

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Now insert this value in the equation and find out the y-cordinate.
