The expression "standard form" is a bit loaded. This is what I would call standard form for that parabola equation:
y = -3(x + 1)² - 5
-3(x + 1)² - 5 = y
-3(x + 1)² = y + 5
(x + 1)² = -1/3(y + 5) ... standard form
The curve has these parameters:
Vertex: (-1, -5)
Axis: x = -1
Latus rectum: 1/3
Downward concavity
