Question

Which linear function represents the table? A) y = 7x − 7 B) y = 7x + 7 C) y = −7x + 7 D) y = −7x − 7

Answer 1

Answer:

Y = -7x+7

Step-by-step explanation:

(This takes a while)

A) Y = 7x - 7

B) Y = 7x + 7

C) Y = -7x + 7

D) Y = - 7x - 7

The asnwer is: C.

Because by distribution the numbers of [x], you will find that you will get [y]. And when you must do this with each of them in order to find out which is the right function.

(6,-35) -> Subsitute 6 into [x]:

Y = 7(6) - 7

Y = 42 - 7

Y = 35

This is wrong, because [y] is supposed to equal -35 and not 35. So A. is out.

B. is also positive, so that means you can't get a negative from it either, so that's out.

C. and D. are both negative, so its between these two.

Y = -7x + 7

Y = -7(6) +7

Y = -42 +7

Y = -35 <- Okay, so that's correct, now let's check D.

Y = -7(6) - 7

Y = -42 - 7

Y = -49 <- This answer is wrong, so your correct answer is C!

The best thing to do is distribute into each, it's quite a process, but it'll help  you find out the answer!
