a_1=-8;\ a_2=-4;\ r=a_2:a_1\to r=-4:(-8)=\dfrac{1}{2};\ n=7\\\\S_n=\dfrac{a_1(1-r^n)}{1-r}\\\\subtitute:\\\\S_7=\dfrac{-8\left[1-\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^7\right]}{1-\dfrac{1}{2}}=\dfrac{-8\left(1-\dfrac{1}{128}\right)}{\dfrac{1}{2}}\\\\=\dfrac{-8\cdot\dfrac{127}{128}}{\dfrac{1}{2}}=-\dfrac{127}{16}\cdot\dfrac{2}{1}=-\dfrac{127}{8}=-15\dfrac{7}{8}

Which equation represents the relationship between the x-and y-values shown in the table.
Dmitrij [34]

C. y = 3x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given coordinates:

(2, 2), (3, 5), (5, 11), (7, 17)

The equation of any straight line is

y = mx + c

Where

m = Gradient

c = Constant

Gradient = y2 - y1/x2 - x1

Substitute any two values of y with the respective values of x.

Gradient = 17 - 2/7 - 2

= 15/5

= 3

Substitute the gradient into the general formula.

y = 3x + c

Substitute any value of the coordinate to the equation

2 = 3(2) + c

2 = 6 + c

c = -4

From y = mx + c,

substitute the values of m, the gradient, and c, the constant.

y = (3)x + (-4)

y = 3x - 4
