Which table represents the equation y=-2x+17?

1 answer

To determine which table represents the equation \( y = -2x + 17 \), you will need to compute the values of \( y \) for various values of \( x \).

Let's compute a few points:

  1. If \( x = 0 \): \[ y = -2(0) + 17 = 17 \] So the point is \( (0, 17) \).

  2. If \( x = 1 \): \[ y = -2(1) + 17 = -2 + 17 = 15 \] So the point is \( (1, 15) \).

  3. If \( x = 2 \): \[ y = -2(2) + 17 = -4 + 17 = 13 \] So the point is \( (2, 13) \).

  4. If \( x = 3 \): \[ y = -2(3) + 17 = -6 + 17 = 11 \] So the point is \( (3, 11) \).

  5. If \( x = 4 \): \[ y = -2(4) + 17 = -8 + 17 = 9 \] So the point is \( (4, 9) \).

Now that we have these points:

  • \( (0, 17) \)
  • \( (1, 15) \)
  • \( (2, 13) \)
  • \( (3, 11) \)
  • \( (4, 9) \)

To find the correct table, look for a table that has these corresponding values for \( y \) given the values for \( x \).
