Question

Choose the correct equation

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -3x - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation to represent the given table can be written in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b.

m = slope = ∆y/∆x

Using the coordinates of any two pairs of values from the table, (0, -10) and (1, -13):

Slope (m) = [(-13 - (-10)]/[1 - 0] = -3/1

Slope (m) = -3

b = y-intercept = the value of y when x is 0 = -10

To write the equation, substitute m = -3 and b = -10 into y = mx + b.

Thus:

y = -3x + (-10)

y = -3x - 10
