Question

How do I find the function rule??? x: 0, 1, 2, 3 y: 5, 4, 3, 2

Answer 1

Answer: y=-1x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Use slope-intercept formula (y = mx + b) to find the slope which is represented by the variable 'b'.

m = ∆y / ∆x

m = -1 / 1

m = -1

y= -1x + b

2. Use any cooresponding x and y values to substitute into the formula. Ex: (x,y) → (1,4)

y = mx + b

4 = -1(1) + b

4 = -1 + b

5 = b

3. Plug in the values found into the formula.

y = -1x + 5
