The graph shows a parabola (a U-shaped or inverted-U curve).

A parabola in the standard $(x, y)$ coordinate plane is represented by a quadratic equation. The standard form of a quadratic is:

$y = ax^2 + bx + c$

This matches the form $y = ax^2 + bx + c$ where $a$, $b$, and $c$ are real constants.
