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
