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 + -4.5y + y2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '2' to each side of the equation.
-2 + -4.5y + 2 + y2 = 0 + 2

Reorder the terms:
-2 + 2 + -4.5y + y2 = 0 + 2

Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0
0 + -4.5y + y2 = 0 + 2
-4.5y + y2 = 0 + 2

Combine like terms: 0 + 2 = 2
-4.5y + y2 = 2

The y term is -4.5y.  Take half its coefficient (-2.25).
Square it (5.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '5.0625' to each side of the equation.
-4.5y + 5.0625 + y2 = 2 + 5.0625

Reorder the terms:
5.0625 + -4.5y + y2 = 2 + 5.0625

Combine like terms: 2 + 5.0625 = 7.0625
5.0625 + -4.5y + y2 = 7.0625
