Answer:
C: f(x) = -½x + 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Using slope formula between 2 points, we know that;
slope; m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
Let's consider 2 points from the table;
(0, 4) and (-4, 6)
Thus;
m = (6 - 4)/(-4 - 0)
m = 2/-4
m = -½
Now using slope intercept form equation which is y - y1 = m(x - x1), we can find the equation of the function by picking on point say (0, 4).
Thus;
y - 4 = -½(x - 0)
y - 4 = -½x
y = -½x + 4
Thus;
f(x) = -½x + 4
For this case we have the following equation:
From here, we must clear the value of y.
For this, we follow the following steps:
1) Distributive property:
2) Variable terms on one side of the equation and constant terms on the other side of the equation:
3) Algebraically add the constant terms:
4) Pass the number 20 to divide:
Answer:
The value of y is given by:
