Find the Standard Form of the Parabola y^2-6y+16x+9=0

$y^{2} - 6 y + 16 x + 9 = 0$

Move all terms not containing $y$ to the right side of the equation.

Subtract $16 x$ from both sides of the equation.

$y^{2} - 6 y + 9 = - 16 x$

Subtract $9$ from both sides of the equation.

$y^{2} - 6 y = - 16 x - 9$

Complete the square.

Use the form $a x^{2} + b x + c$ , to find the values of $a$ , $b$ , and $c$ .

$a = 1$

$b = - 6$

$c = 0 = - 16 x - 9$

Consider the vertex form of a parabola.

$a {(x + d)}^{2} + e = - 16 x - 9$

Find the value of $d$ using the formula $d = \frac{b}{2 a}$ .

Substitute the values of $a$ and $b$ into the formula $d = \frac{b}{2 a}$ .

$d = \frac{- 6}{2 \cdot 1}$

Cancel the common factor of $- 6$ and $2$ .

Factor $2$ out of $- 6$ .

$d = \frac{2 \cdot - 3}{2 \cdot 1}$

Cancel the common factors.

Factor $2$ out of $2 \cdot 1$ .

$d = \frac{2 \cdot - 3}{2 (1)}$

Cancel the common factor.

$d = \frac{2 \cdot - 3}{2 \cdot 1}$

Rewrite the expression.

$d = \frac{- 3}{1}$

Divide $- 3$ by $1$ .

$d = - 3$

Find the value of $e$ using the formula $e = c - \frac{b^{2}}{4 a}$ .

Substitute the values of $c$ , $b$ and $a$ into the formula $e = c - \frac{b^{2}}{4 a}$ .

$e = 0 - \frac{{(- 6)}^{2}}{4 \cdot 1}$

Simplify the right side.

Simplify each term.

Raise $- 6$ to the power of $2$ .

$e = 0 - \frac{36}{4 \cdot 1}$

Multiply $4$ by $1$ .

$e = 0 - \frac{36}{4}$

Divide $36$ by $4$ .

$e = 0 - 1 \cdot 9$

Multiply $- 1$ by $9$ .

$e = 0 - 9$

Subtract $9$ from $0$ .

$e = - 9$

Substitute the values of $a$ , $d$ , and $e$ into the vertex form ${(y - 3)}^{2} - 9$ .

${(y - 3)}^{2} - 9 = - 16 x - 9$

Move all terms not containing $y$ to the right side of the equation.

Add $9$ to both sides of the equation.

${(y - 3)}^{2} = - 16 x - 9 + 9$

Combine the opposite terms in $- 16 x - 9 + 9$ .

Add $- 9$ and $9$ .

${(y - 3)}^{2} = - 16 x + 0$

Add $- 16 x$ and $0$ .

${(y - 3)}^{2} = - 16 x$
