To write the given equation in standard form, we first start with the equation:

\[
-6x^2 + 3x + 13 = -2x^2
\]

Next, we want to rearrange the equation so that all terms are on one side and the equation is set equal to zero. We can do this by adding \(2x^2\) to both sides:

\[
-6x^2 + 2x^2 + 3x + 13 = 0
\]

Now, combine the \(x^2\) terms:

\[
(-6x^2 + 2x^2) + 3x + 13 = 0
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
-4x^2 + 3x + 13 = 0
\]

To write the quadratic in standard form, we typically prefer the leading coefficient to be positive. Therefore, multiply the entire equation by -1:

\[
4x^2 - 3x - 13 = 0
\]

So the quadratic equation in standard form is:

\[
4x^2 - 3x - 13 = 0
\]
