Check the picture below.
now, let's keep in mind that, the vertex is half-way between the focus point and the directrix, it's a "p" distance from each other.
since this horizontal parabola is opening to the left-hand-side, "p" is negative, notice in the picture, "p" is 2 units, and since it's negative, p = -2.
its vertex is half-way between those two guys, so that puts the vertex at (-5, 3)
