-4 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-4'.
-2.5 + 0.25y + y2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '2.5' to each side of the equation.
-2.5 + 0.25y + 2.5 + y2 = 0 + 2.5

Reorder the terms:
-2.5 + 2.5 + 0.25y + y2 = 0 + 2.5

Combine like terms: -2.5 + 2.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 0.25y + y2 = 0 + 2.5
0.25y + y2 = 0 + 2.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 2.5 = 2.5
0.25y + y2 = 2.5

The y term is 0.25y.  Take half its coefficient (0.125).
Square it (0.015625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.015625' to each side of the equation.
0.25y + 0.015625 + y2 = 2.5 + 0.015625

Reorder the terms:
0.015625 + 0.25y + y2 = 2.5 + 0.015625

Combine like terms: 2.5 + 0.015625 = 2.515625
0.015625 + 0.25y + y2 = 2.515625
