Answer:

The answer to your question is Vertex = (-6 , 4)

Explanation:

Data

Equation y = -x² - 12x - 32

Process

1.- Add 32 units in both sides

y + 32 = -x² - 12x - 32 + 32

2.- Simplify

y + 32 = -x² - 12x

3.- Factor -1 in the right side

y + 32 = -(x² + 12x )

4.- Complete the perfect square trinomial

y + 32 - 6² = -(x² + 12x + 6²)

5.- Simplify

y + 32 - 36 = -(x + 6)²

y - 4 = -(x + 6)²

6.- Find the vertex

Vertex = (-6 , 4)
