### Quadratic Functions: Vertex Form

Use the graph below to write the quadratic function in vertex form. Be sure to use the equation editor to type your answer.

**Graph Description:**

The graph depicts a downward-opening parabola. The vertex of the parabola, which represents the maximum point, is at \((-1, 6)\). The parabola intersects the x-axis at the points \((-4, 0)\) and \((2, 0)\), suggesting that these are the roots of the quadratic function.

![Parabola Graph](graph-image-url) (Note: This placeholder can be replaced with the image URL or removed accordingly.)

**Instructions:**

Using the information from the graph, write the quadratic function in vertex form, which is expressed as:

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

Where:
- \((h, k)\) are the coordinates of the vertex
- \(a\) is a coefficient that dictates the width and direction of the parabola (Since the parabola opens downwards, \(a\) will be negative.)
