To determine which equation in vertex form matches the graph of the downward-opening parabola, we need to analyze some key characteristics:
1. **Vertex Form of a Quadratic Equation**: The vertex form is \( y = a(x-h)^2 + k \), where \( (h, k) \) is the vertex. The value of \( a \) determines the direction of opening; if \( a < 0 \), the parabola opens downward.
2. **Determine Vertex from the Graph**: The coordinates of the vertex can be derived from the graph. If the vertex appears to be at \( (5, 10) \), then \( h = 5 \) and \( k = 10 \).
3. **Direction of Opening**: Since the parabola opens downward, \( a \) must be negative.
Based on this information, we can evaluate the response options:
1. **Option 1**: \( y = -\frac{1}{2}(x-5)^2 - 10 \) (opposite direction for vertex)
2. **Option 2**: \( y = -\frac{1}{2}(x-5)^2 + 10 \) (correct vertex, opening downward)
3. **Option 3**: \( y = \frac{1}{2}(x-5)^2 + 10 \) (opening upward)
4. **Option 4**: \( y = \frac{1}{2}(x+5)^2 + 10 \) (opening upward)
Given that the vertex seems to be \( (5, 10) \) and the parabola opens downward, the correct equation that matches the graph is:
**y = -\frac{1}{2}(x-5)^2 + 10** (Option 2).
