\bf \left( -\cfrac{5}{2(3)}~~-2-\cfrac{5^2}{4(3)} \right)\implies \left(-\cfrac{5}{6}~~,~~-2-\cfrac{25}{12} \right)\implies \stackrel{\stackrel{axis~\hfill }{coordinate\qquad }}{\left(-\cfrac{5}{6}~~,~~-\cfrac{49}{12} \right)} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ ~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{axis of symmetry}}{x=-\cfrac{5}{6}}~\hfill

let's notice, that the squared variable is the "x", and therefore this is a vertical parabola whose axis of symmetry is the vertical line equation of the x-coordinate of its vertex.
