---
3x^2 + 12x - 8y = 0
8y = 3x^2 + 12x
y = 3/8x^2 + 12/8x
y = 0.375x^2 + 1.5x
---
the above quadratic equation is in standard form, with a=0.375, b=1.5, and c=0
---
to solve the quadratic equation, by using the quadratic formula, copy and paste this:
0.375 1.5 0

answer:
the quadratic vertex is a minimum at: ( x= -2, y= -1.5 )
---
the focus is: ( -2, -0.833333 )
---
latus rectum axis is: y= -1.5
