Answer:

x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the larger of two numbers is four more than the smaller one, this means that there is a difference of 4 between the two numbers. In order to find the smaller of both numbers, you can obtain the smaller from the largest by subtracting 4.

Answers: A , B , and D are correct.
________________________________________________________
The following statements are true and correct:
____________________________________________________
[A]: y is a function of x .
____________________________________________________
[B]: The graph of the relationship is a line.
____________________________________________________
[D]: When the input is -2, the output is 3.
____________________________________________________

Note:
____________________________________________________
Choice: [C]: "When the input is -3, the output is 4 ." → is INCORRECT.

Note: When the input is -3, the output is "4 ⅓";
that is, when x = -3, y = 4 ⅓ .
_____________________________________________________
Choice: [E]: "The y-intercept of the relationship is: (0,1)." → is incorrect.

Note: The y-intercept refers to the value of "y" where the line crosses the "x" axis. From the equation; and form the graph, we see that the y-intercept is: "⅓" ; or, "(0, ⅓)" .

Here is the graph of the equation:
____________________________________________
y = $- \frac{4}{3} x + \frac{1}{3}$ ;
