Answer 1

To determine the equation that represents the data in the table, we can look for a pattern in the values.

From the table, we can see that as x increases by 1, y decreases by 2. This suggests a linear relationship between x and y.

Additionally, we can observe that when x = 0, y = 3. This tells us that the y-intercept of the equation is 3.

Based on these observations, we can eliminate options D and E because they have incorrect y-intercepts.

Next, we can substitute the values from the first data point (x = 0, y = 3) into the remaining equations to see which one is satisfied.

For option A, y = -2x. Substituting x = 0, y should be 0, but it is not. So, option A is not the correct equation.

For option B, y = 2x + 3. Substituting x = 0, y should be 3, and this equation satisfies that condition. So, option B is the correct equation.

Therefore, the answer is B) y = 2x + 3.
