Question
### Question 12

**Is the data representative of a linear, quadratic, or exponential model?**

Below is a table of values:

|  x  | -3 | -2 | -1 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 |
|----|----|----|----|---|---|---|---|
|  y  | -18 | -6 | -2 | 0 | 2 | 6 | 18 |

Based on these values, you need to determine the type of mathematical model that best fits the data. Select from one of the following options:

- Linear
- Quadratic
- Exponential

The goal is to analyze the relationship between x and y values to identify the pattern and make a decision. Consider changes between successive points and assess which model type is most applicable.
