you're welcome, tell me what you get

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

close, but not quite

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

still no

y = -3x^2 + 6x - 2 y + 2 = -3x^2 + 6x y + 2 = -3(x^2 - 2x) y + 2 = -3(x^2 - 2x + 1 - 1) y + 2 = -3((x^2 - 2x + 1) - 1) y + 2 = -3(x^2 - 2x + 1) + 3 y = -3(x^2 - 2x + 1) + 3 - 2 y = -3(x - 1)^2 + 1
