$$y=-3x^2+12x+1$$That's a parabola, as it has the form $y = ax^2+bx+c$

A parabola is symmetrical about the perpendicular line between vertex and directrix.  This one opens downward because $a$ is negative, so the line of symmetry will be $x=k$ where $k$ is the x coordinate of the vertex.  You can find the x coordinate of the vertex by $$x = -\frac{b}{2a}$$

I don't know what "the coordinates of the graph" is supposed to mean.  There are infinitely many points on the parabola...going to need a bigger sheet of paper!

Instead of "coordinates of the graph," why not aim to find the "coordinates of the vertex?"
