Question

Which of the following rules describes the function graphed below? On a coordinate plane, points are at (1, 5), (2, 4), (3, 3), (4, 2). a. Output = Input c. Output = 5 · Input - 4 b. Output = Input - 4 d. Output = 6 - Input Please select the best answer from the choices provided A B C D

Answer 1

*see attachment

Answer:

D. Output = 6 - Input

Step-by-step explanation:

The output is the y-value, while the input is the x-value. The coordinates are represented as (x, y), and are graphed in the figure attached below.

Let's consider the function and see which rule best describes the function.

Considering the point (1, 5), the rule, output = 6 - input, applies.

Let's check it out:

Output is 5, input is 1. Substitute 1 as input into the rule, Output = 6 - input, and see if it would give you 5 as output:

Output = 6 - 1

Output = 5

If you try another coordinate pair of the function, the same rule will apply.

Therefore, the best answer is D. Output = 6 - Input
