put y= -8x^2+ 3 into vertex form?
----
y = -8(x^2) + 3
-------
y = -8(x-0)^2 + 3
---------------------------
vertex: (0,3)

**
Vertex form of equation for a parabola: y=A(x-h)^2+k, (h,k)=(x,y) coordinates of the vertex, A is a multiplier which affects the slope or steepness of the curve.
..
Given equation is already in vertex form with:
vertex at (0,3) and A=-8
