This image contains a graph of a parabolic curve on a coordinate plane. The equation of the curve is given as \( y = 1 - \frac{1}{4}x^2 \).

### Description:
- The graph displays a concave-down parabola.
- The curve intersects the y-axis at \( y = 1 \).
  
### Dimensions:
- The vertex of the parabola is at the highest point \( (0, 1) \).
- The parabola extends horizontally from \(-2 \, \text{m}\) to \(2 \, \text{m}\), a total width of \(2 \, \text{m}\).
- The height from the baseline (x-axis) to the vertex is \(1 \, \text{m}\).

### Coordinate Axes:
- The horizontal axis is labeled as the x-axis.
- The vertical axis is labeled as the y-axis.

### Shaded Area:
- The area under the curve, above the x-axis, is shaded, indicating the bounded region which may represent a physical or mathematical quantity of interest.
