Create an equation!
a graph has a y-intercept at -5, no x-intercepts, and discontinuous points at (-1,-5) and (3, -5). i want to form an equation for this graph, but i don't know how the y-intercept relates to the graph of a rational function. here's all i have so far:
y = (x+1)(x-3)/(x+1)(x-3)
i realize this isn't even close to being complete; i need some direction on how to finish the equation. any would be appreciated.

Suppose you are going to graph the data in the table. minutes temperature (°c) 0 -2 1 1 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 -4 6 2 7 -3 what data should be represented on each axis, and what should the axis increments be? x-axis: minutes in increments of 1; y-axis: temperature in increments of 5 x-axis: temperature in increments of 5; y-axis: minutes in increments of 1 x-axis: minutes in increments of 1; y-axis: temperature in increments of 1 x-axis: temperature in increments of 1; y-axis: minutes in increments of 5
