The vertex of the graph of y = -4(x + 3)2 + 2 is ( , )

Step-by-step explanation:

This quadratic is of the form

where h and k are the coordinates of the vertex. Notice that inside the parenthesis it very specifically follows the format (x - h)². That means that if you have something like what we have here, ( x + 3)^2, it was originally (x - (-3))^2, and the value for h is -3. k is much simpler to determine. Our 2 at the end is a +2, so the k is 2. The vertex then is (-3, 2).
