To determine if a table represents a linear function with the same slope as \( y = 2 - 3x \), we first identify the slope of the given equation. The equation can be rearranged into the slope-intercept form \( y = mx + b \), where \( m \) is the slope and \( b \) is the y-intercept.
The equation \( y = 2 - 3x \) can be rewritten as: \[ y = -3x + 2 \]
Here, the slope \( m \) is \(-3\).
Next, we need to look at the options you have listed and see if any of them represent a linear function with a slope of \(-3\).
To check if a table represents a linear function with slope \(-3\), we can calculate the slopes between pairs of points in the table. The slope between two points \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\) is given by: \[ \text{slope} = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \]
If you provide the tables you are referring to, I can help identify which ones have a slope of \(-3\).
