Question

Which linear equation is represented by the table?

X: -2, 1 , 3 , 6
Y: 7 , 4 , 2 , -1

A. Y= -x + 5
B. Y= 2x - 1
C. Y= x + 3
D. Y= -3x + 11

I would tell you my answer but I don't even know how to do this so please give me the steps

Answer 1

First you have to find the slope. Do you know how to do this?

Answer 2

I am sorry but no and there is no slope showing in my math proble.

Answer 3

You are given 4 points:
(-2,7), (1,4) , (3,2), and (6,-1)


now see if those points satisfy each of the equations

e.g. let's try (1,4)
in A: 4 = -1+5 , true
in B: 4 = 2(1) - 1 , false , so I guess B is out, no need to go further

continue with the other points.
