Use the image to answer the question.

A coordinate plane shows a solid curved line with arrows at both ends. The x axis ranges from 40 to negative 40 in increments of 5 and the y axis ranges from 40 to negative 20 in increments of 5.

Which equation is modeled by the graph?

Since I can't see the image you're referring to, I can't provide a specific equation. However, based on your description of the curve, it sounds like it could potentially represent a quadratic function (like a parabola) or a sine/cosine function if it is periodic.

To determine the equation, you would typically look for certain characteristics in the curve:

1. **Shape and Direction**: If the curve opens upwards or downwards, it might indicate a quadratic equation of the form \(y = ax^2 + bx + c\). If it's wavy and crosses the x-axis at regular intervals, consider trigonometric functions like \(y = A \sin(Bx + C) + D\).

2. **Vertex or Key Points**: Identify any key points on the graph (like the vertex of a parabola or the amplitude and period of a sine wave). This will help in formulating the equation.

3. **Symmetry**: Check if the graph is symmetric about a line, as this can indicate the type of function (even or odd functions).

4. **Intercepts and Asymptotes**: Look for x-intercepts (roots) and y-intercepts to help establish the equation.

If you can describe the graph in more detail, such as its specific shape, whether it has any intercepts, or any notable points, I could help you better identify the potential equation modeled by the graph.
