find the vertex, intercepts (x and y), axis of symmetry and sketch of
y=-3x^2-6x-2
-------------------
The vertex occurs at x = -b/2a = 6/(-6) = -1
-----------------
f(-1) = -3(-1)^2 - 6(-1) -2 = -3 + 6 -2 = 1
-----------------------------------------------
Vertex: (-1,1)
Axis of symmetry: x = -1
----------------------------------------------
