Write an equation for the function graphed below. (Hint: Use the y-intercept to find the leading coefficient.)

y=

 

The image displays a graph with two vertical asymptotes and three regions of graph behavior. The vertical asymptotes are indicated by red dashed lines at \( x = -1 \) and \( x = 4 \).

### Description of the Graph:

1. **Left Region (\( x < -1 \)):**
   - The curve approaches the vertical asymptote at \( x = -1 \) from the left. 
   - As \( x \) decreases, the function rises sharply and approaches negative infinity.

2. **Middle Region (\( -1 < x < 4 \)):**
   - The curve starts from negative infinity just above \( x = -1 \), increasing rapidly to positive values.
   - It crosses the x-axis between \( x=0 \) and \( x=1 \).
   - As it approaches the vertical asymptote at \( x = 4 \), the curve decreases again and moves towards negative infinity.

3. **Right Region (\( x > 4 \)):**
   - The curve approaches the vertical asymptote at \( x = 4 \) from the right, starting from positive infinity.
   - As \( x \) increases, the curve falls gradually, approaching the x-axis but remaining above it.

### Axis Details:

- **X-Axis:** Marks are plotted at intervals of 1 from \( x = -7 \) to \( x = 7 \).
- **Y-Axis:** Marks are plotted at intervals of 1 from \( y = -6 \) to \( y = 5 \).

The graph represents a rational function experiencing vertical asymptotic behavior at \( x = -1 \) and \( x = 4 \), indicating undefined points at these x-values.
