Answer:

[tex]\large\boxed{y=-\dfrac{1}{2}(x-2)^2+4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex form of a parabola:

[tex]y=a(x-h)^2+k[/tex]

(h, k) - vertex

We have the vertex (2, 4). Substitute:

[tex]y=a(x-2)^2+4[/tex]

The y-intercept (0, 2). Put the coordinates of the y-intercept to the equation:

[tex]2=a(0-2)^2+4[/tex]

[tex]2=a(-2)^2+4[/tex]           subtrzct 4 from both sides

[tex]-2=4a[/tex]           divide both sides by 4

[tex]-\dfrac{1}{2}=a\to a=-\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]

Finally:

[tex]y=-\dfrac{1}{2}(x-2)^2+4[/tex]
