Is it (3, -4)???

Eyeball problem.  Just look at it and write it down.  That's why we call it the "Vertex Form".  Listen to ILC.

.... I am asking for the vertex. The reason why I posted this is because I don't know how exactly to find it. If I knew how to find the vertex I would use my eyeballs to find it in the equation.  @tkhunny

??  Very strange reply.  You looked at it and wrote down the Vertex.  I told you to trust your eyes.  What question do you still have?

Always: (x-h) and (y-k) are in there in the Vertex Form.  The Vertex is (h,k).

(x-3)^2=y+4?

x-3 leads immediately to h = 3
y+4 takes a moment to conclude the k = -4
