Write an equation for the function graphed below. 

## Function Analysis

**Task:** Write an equation for the function graphed below.

### Description of the Graph

The graph displays a rational function with the following features:

1. **Vertical Asymptotes:** The graph has vertical asymptotes at \( x = -3 \) and \( x = 3 \), marked by red dashed lines. These are the values where the function is undefined, causing the graph to shoot up or down towards infinity.

2. **Horizontal Asymptote:** The graph approaches a horizontal asymptote as \( y = 0 \). This indicates that as \( x \) moves towards positive or negative infinity, the function values approach zero.

3. **Behavior of the Function:**
   - As \( x \) approaches \(-3\) from the left, the function decreases towards negative infinity.
   - As \( x \) approaches \(-3\) from the right, the function increases towards positive infinity.
   - As \( x \) approaches \(3\) from the left, the function increases towards positive infinity.
   - As \( x \) approaches \(3\) from the right, the function decreases towards negative infinity.

### Equation Form

The function's equation is likely of the form:

\[ y = \frac{a}{(x+3)(x-3)} \]

Where \( a \) is a constant. This form reflects the vertical asymptotes at \( x = -3 \) and \( x = 3 \), and the horizontal asymptote at \( y = 0 \). Adjust the value of \( a \) to fit other possible conditions or points on the graph not explicitly labeled here.

### Equation Input

**y =** [Enter your equation here based on the analysis above.]

This exercise helps in understanding the relationship between equations of rational functions and their graphical representations.
