SOLUTION: What is the vertex of {{{ y=-x^2-3x+6 }}} I keep getting (-3/2), (-3/4) but the y intercept is 6, so I don't understand this equation at all.

The y-intercept has nothing to do with the vertex.

You are right that the x-coordinate of the vertex is -3/2. However, the y-coordinate is

So the vertex is (-3/2, 33/4).
