Drain pipes require a balance of positive and negative pressure or else they trap the water instead of releasing it. In the International Plumbing Code chapter 9 (901.2) it says:  The plumbing system shall be provided with a system of vent piping that will permit the admission or emission of air… …the seal of any fixture trap shall not be subjected to a pneumatic pressure differential of more than 1 inch of water column (249 Pa)… So, behind the wall, your sink should have a vent pipe that starts at or before the point where the drain has its first vertical drop. Up until that point, it needs to be horizontal  and slope downward at 1/8″ to 1/4″ per foot (depending on the size of the pipe). This horizontal pipe exiting the P-trap prior to meeting the vent is called the trap arm. The angle of the slope is important and there is a limit to the length that the trap arm can be before it reaches a vent. The length of the trap arm can be no less than two pipe diameters before venting or it will create a crown vent (which will cause the water to be siphoned from the trap and thus allow sewer gases to enter the premises) but the developed length can not drop more than one pipe diameter prior to meeting the vent. The reason for this is that the water will block off the flow in the pipe and prevent air from passing through. Thus, a 1-1/2″ trap arm (which must have a 1/4″ per ft slope) may be no less than 3″ in length, but no more than 5′. The blocked airway is what brings me to the purpose of a P-trap.
