ur x's all have a difference of 4, and ur y's all have a difference of -5...so yes, this is linear with a slope of (-7+2) / (-5 + 9) = -5/4
Answer:
y = - 2x + 13
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Calculate m using the slope formula
m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (5, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 5)
m =
=
= - 2, thus
y = - 2x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation
Using (4, 5), then
5 = - 8 + c ⇒ c = 5 + 8 = 13
y = - 2x + 13 ← equation of line
The pattern is that each number is decreasing by half
