Identify the axis of summetry, create a suitable table of values and then sketch the graph (include the axis of summetry)
y=-x^2+3x-3
------------
Complete the square on the x terms:
x^2-3x+? = -y-3+?
x^2-3x+(3/2)^2 = -y-3+(3/2)^2
(x-(3/2))^2 = -y+(3/2)
---------
Axis of symmetry: x= 3/2
================
Values :y=-x^2+3x-3
If x = 0 , y = -3
If x = 1, y = -1
If x=2, y=-4+6-3= -1
If x=3, y = -9+9-3 = -3
---------------------
