This is the equation of a straight line which does not have a vertex.

Explanation:

Expand the expression and simplify, then use completing the squares to get it into vertex form
y = 2(x^2 - 8x + 16) - 2x^2 +3
y = 2x^2 - 16x + 32 - 2x^2 +3
y = -16x +35
This is the equation of a straight line which does not have a vertex.
