Question
The task is to write an equation for the function graphed below.

**Description of the Graph:**

- The graph features two vertical dashed red lines at \( x = -2 \) and \( x = 2 \), indicating vertical asymptotes.
- The function appears to be a rational function with the following characteristics:
  - On the left side of the asymptote at \( x = -2 \), the graph approaches negative infinity as \( x \) approaches \(-2\) from the left, and positive infinity as \( x \) approaches \(-2\) from the right.
  - Between the vertical asymptotes, from \( x = -2 \) to \( x = 2 \), the graph drops from positive infinity to negative infinity.
  - On the right side of the asymptote at \( x = 2 \), the graph approaches positive infinity as \( x \) approaches \(2\) from the left, and negative infinity as \( x \) approaches \(2\) from the right.

The graph suggests a function with the form of \( y = \frac{a}{x+b} + c \) or potentially a combination of operators indicative of a more complex rational function with two vertical asymptotes.

**Input Section:**

- Below the graph is a text box for entering the equation, indicated by "y = ".
- A "Check Answer" button is provided to verify the equation entered.
