To determine whether the graph of the equation in vertex form y=-(x+5)^2-3 opens up or down, we can look at the coefficient of the x^2 term.
In the given equation, y=-(x+5)^2-3, the coefficient of x^2 is -1.
If the coefficient of x^2 is positive, the graph opens upward, and if the coefficient is negative, the graph opens downward.
Since the coefficient of x^2 in y=-(x+5)^2-3 is -1, the graph of the equation opens downward.
