Answer

$y=-\frac{1}{2}(x+3)^{2}-2$

Work Step by Step

We already know $y$, $x$, $k$ and $h$ from the given vertex and point, so in order to get the quadratic function we need to find $a$... $y=a(x-h)^{2}+k$ $-10=a(1+3)^{2}-2$ $-8=a(4)^{2}$ $-8=16a$ $a=-\frac{8}{16}$ $a=-\frac{1}{2}$ Therefore the function is... $y=-\frac{1}{2}(x+3)^{2}-2$
