Question

How do I do #1 ? Help!!

Answer 1

1) First find the multiplier.

Look at the 0 and 1st term you have 5 as the 0 and 3 as the 1st term.

2)Ask how do we get from 5 to 3?

• We subtract 2 so the multiplier is -2

3)Lets make a linear equation: y=mx +b

• m= multiplier or slope
• x= Just equals x value
• b= your starting value or the 0 term which is 5

4)Use the values that you have to create your equation.

• y=-2x +5

Note:For the x value just plug in the x value from your table.

Ex.

• y=-2(-10)+5

• y=20+5
• y=25
