To write the equation in factored form, we need to first factor out the coefficient of the squared term, which is 1:
y = x^2 - 10x + 16
Next, we need to find two numbers that multiply to 16 and add up to -10 (the coefficient of the x term). These numbers are -2 and -8:
y = (x - 2)(x - 8)
Therefore, the equation in factored form is y = (x - 2)(x - 8).
y = x^2 - 10x + 16
