Answer: C.) f(x) = -2x + 5
If you start from x=1, you will see the patter follows -2x + 5
-2(1) +5 = -2+5 = 3
-2(2)+ 5 = -4 + 5 = 1
-2(3) + 5= -6 +5 = -1
And so on...
The minimum value is the lowest point of a graphed line. The would be the bottom of the "U" shape.
Looking at the graph you can see that the bottom of the U is touching the horizontal line at x = -5.5, so this would be the minimum value.
The lowest part of the line is at -5.5
