graphing

 

\(y=-3x^2-24x-52\\ \text{axis of symmetry } \\x = \frac{-b}{2a}=\frac{24}{-6}=-4\)

 

Since this polynomial is of order 2 (x squared that is)  This is a parabola

Since the leading coefficent ( the -3 in front of the x^2) is negative, this parabola is concave down.

When x=0, y=-52 so the y intercept is -52

 

 

The axis of symmetry is x=-4

 

The vertex will be  x=-4    

\(y=-3*16-24*-4-52\\ y=-48+96-52\\ y=-48+96-52\\ y=-4\\ \text{So the maximum is (-4,-4)}\)

 

now we know another point is  (0,-52) and using symmetry another will be (-8,-52)

 

These don't fit on your graph paper unfortunately so I gues you could find the y value when x=-2

 

\(y=-3x^2-24x-52\\ y=-3*4-24*-2-52\\ y=-12+48-52\\ y=-16\\\)

 

So 2 more points are  (-2,-16)  and  (-6,-16)

 

Now you can plot them

 

Here is the graph using Desmos Graphing calculator
