It is point #(3,-6)#

This is a parabola . The vertex of a parabola is the point where the parabola crosses its axis of symmetry.

The vertex formula for a parabola is

#y=a*(x-h)^2+k# where #(h,k)# is the vertex. Hence rewriting

the given parabola as

#y=4/3*(x-3)^2+(-6)#

we see that the vertex is #(3,-6)#
