Question
### Graph Analysis

#### Description
In the provided graph (labeled figure b), the blue curve represents a mathematical function plotted on a Cartesian coordinate system. Here is a detailed description of the graph and its components:

- **Axes**: 
  - The horizontal axis is marked as the x-axis, with integer values ranging from -5 to 5.
  - The vertical axis is marked as the y-axis, also with integer values ranging from -5 to 5.

- **Curve**:
  - The blue curve starts from the left side of the graph at approximately (-5, 2).
  - It gradually descends as it moves right, passing through the point (-2, 1).
  - It continues to curve downwards as it approaches the x-axis and gets closer to the point (-1, 0).

- **Axes Intersection**: 
  - The curve intersects the y-axis at y = 1.
  - It does not intersect the positive region of the x-axis within the visible range.

#### Objective
The objective is to determine the equation of the curve depicted in the graph. This equation will take the form \( y = \).

### Placeholder for Answer
There is a placeholder below the graph where the equation of the curve is expected to be written.

```
y = ____________________________________
```

### Instructions
- Observing how the curve bends and its intersection points with the axes, try to deduce the equation that represents this curve.
- Consider typical forms of equations such as linear, quadratic, exponential, or logarithmic functions, based on the shape and behavior of the curve.
