Question

Please help :) is it linear, if so model the data with and equation.

Answer 1

Answer:

The relationship is linear: y -5 = 2 (x+7)

Step-by-step explanation:

While the difference between -7 and -5 / -5 and -3 / -3 and -1 is always 2 teh difference between 5 and 9 / 9 and 13 / 13 and 17 is always 4.

y-5 = -1/2 (x +7)

for x= -7 and y = 5 this is true

for x=-5 and y = 9 this is not true

y + 7 = 1/2 (x-5)

for x= -7 and y = 5 this is not true

y -5 = 2 (x+7)

for x= -7 and y = 5 this is true

for x = -5 and y = 9 this is true

for x = -3 and y = 13 this is true

for x = -1 and y = 17 this is true
