Find the first and second differences
The table presents a set of values for the variables \(x\) and \(y\):

\[
\begin{array}{|c|c|}
\hline
x & y \\
\hline
-2 & -15 \\
-1 & 0 \\
0 & 9 \\
1 & 12 \\
2 & 9 \\
\hline
\end{array}
\]

This table demonstrates the relationship between \(x\) and \(y\). As \(x\) increases from \(-2\) to \(2\), the values of \(y\) initially rise from \(-15\) to \(12\), and then decrease to \(9\). This data can be used to analyze trends or patterns, such as identifying if it forms part of a specific function or if any particular mathematical relationship exists between \(x\) and \(y\).
