To graph the data points given in the table, we can plot the points (0, -3), (1, -2), (2, -3), (3, -6), and (4, -11).
The graph shows a curve rather than a straight line, which indicates that a quadratic function best models the data points.
The equation that models the data is y = -x^2 - 3.
Here is the graph:
The blue curve represents the quadratic function y = -x^2 - 3 passing through the given data points.
