Answer:
y = -16x² +180
Step-by-step explanation:
The vertex appears to be the high point of the graph, (0, 180). Then the vertex form equation is ...
y = a(x -0)² +180
The value of 'a' can be found using the other given point. Substituting for x and y, we have ...
164 = a(1 -0)² +180
-16 = a
Then the complete simplified vertex form equation is ...
y = -16x² +180
