Let's first look at what it's NOT......!!!
It's not linear because the changes in y's and x's are not uniform
Its not a quadratic because the end behavior would be either up-up or down-down ......and the data indicates that this is up-down
It could be a cubic in some form such as : y = -ax^3-bx^2 - cx
