To solve the equation \(-2x + 3x - 1 = -2\), we first simplify and rearrange the equation:
\[
-x - 1 = -2
\]
Next, we add 1 to both sides:
\[
-x = -2 + 1
\]
Simplifying the right side gives:
\[
-x = -1
\]
Now, by multiplying both sides by -1:
\[
x = 1
\]
This is a linear equation, and therefore it does not produce a quadratic solution. However, you mentioned using the quadratic formula, which is typically applied to equations of the form \(ax^2 + bx + c = 0\).
If your goal is to apply the quadratic formula here simply as part of a request or just to gain clarity over other equations, please provide an appropriate quadratic equation (in the form \(ax^2 + bx + c = 0\)), and I can assist in solving that using the quadratic formula.
For the current equation, the final answer is:
\[
x = 1
\]
