Question

Choose the correct answer.

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

Answer 1

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 \( x \).
