Question

Find the equation of the linear function represented by the table below in slope intercept form.

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -3x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

slope (m) = (-8 - -5) / (2 - 1)   ... difference of y/difference of x

m = -3

y = mx + b

y = -3x + b

for (3,-11)    b = y + 3x = -11 + 3x3 = -2

equation: y = -3x - 2
