The equation that represents this function is x -2y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Intercepts</em>
The table shows the x-intercept to be (2, 0), and the y-intercept to be (0, -1). These are not matched by any of the answer choices.
<em>Slope</em>
The slope is ...
slope = (change in y)/(change in x) = (0 -(-1))/(2 -0) = 1/2
<em>Equation</em>
You can choose the equation by seeing if it works for a couple of points. You know the last equation is incorrect, because that slope-intercept form has the y-intercept as +1, not -1.
