The graph is the same as y=x^2 apart from the minus which has the effect of inverting (turning upside down) the graph). Does that help?

y= -x^2
(graph 300x200 pixels, x from -6 to 5, y from -10 to 10, y = -(x)^2).
Substitute various values for x & solve this equation for y
If x=-2 the:
y=-(-2)^2
y=-4 (-2,-4
x=2 then:
y=-(2)^2
y=-4 (2,-4)
