To find the vertex of a quadratic equation in standard form, (y = ax^2 + bx + c), you can use the vertex formula. The x-coordinate of the vertex is given by (x = -\frac{b}{2a}). Once you have the x-coordinate, substitute it back into the equation to find the corresponding y-coordinate. The vertex is then the point ((-\frac{b}{2a}, f(-\frac{b}{2a}))).

Assuming the vertex is 0,0 and the directrix is y=4 x^2=0
The given equation is y = x - 4x + 2 which can be written as y = -3x + 2 This is an equation of a straight line. Therefore it has no vertex and so cannot be written in vertex form.

A standard form of a linear equation would be: ax + by = c
