While the data points shown in the graph do appear to follow a parabolic path,
the particular parabola shown in the graph is not a good fit because it is "above"
every observed data point.

That means that the model equation that goes with that parabola would be over-
estimating every value in the domain of the data set. In other words, the model
would not be a good predictor.
