the answers are #y=+-1#

Explanation:

the given equation is #y=-(x-2)^2-4x+5rArry=-x^2-4+4x-4x+5rArry=-x^2+1# on applying the quadratic formula #color(red)[y=(-b+-sqrt(b^2-4ac))/(2a)]# here #a=-1,b=0,c=1# on substituting the values we get #(0+-sqrt(0-4(-1)(1)))/(2(1))rArr(+-sqrt(4)/(2))rArr+-2/2rArr+-1#
#:.# #y=+-1#
