Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-2 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-2'.
-2.5 + -0.25x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '2.5' to each side of the equation.
-2.5 + -0.25x + 2.5 + x2 = 0 + 2.5

Reorder the terms:
-2.5 + 2.5 + -0.25x + x2 = 0 + 2.5

Combine like terms: -2.5 + 2.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.25x + x2 = 0 + 2.5
-0.25x + x2 = 0 + 2.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 2.5 = 2.5
-0.25x + x2 = 2.5

The x term is -0.25x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.125).
