Solving for variable 'y'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-2 + 2.5y + y2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '2' to each side of the equation.
-2 + 2.5y + 2 + y2 = 0 + 2

Reorder the terms:
-2 + 2 + 2.5y + y2 = 0 + 2

Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0
0 + 2.5y + y2 = 0 + 2
2.5y + y2 = 0 + 2

Combine like terms: 0 + 2 = 2
2.5y + y2 = 2

The y term is 2.5y.  Take half its coefficient (1.25).
