    y = - x² + 8x - 16

    Step-by-step explanation:

    since x = 4 is a root of multiplicity 2 then

    (x - 4) ² are the factors, and

    y = a (x - 4) ² ← where a is a multiplier

    here leading coefficient is - 1 ⇒ a = - 1

    y = - (x - 4) ² (expand and multiply by - 1)

    y = - (x² - 8x + 16) = - x² + 8x - 16
