If we take a look at the data presented in the chart we can see the damage that the head gasket on truck suffers according to the ambient temperature. The correct answer is letter C) because there is a negative slope that is less than one and the y-intercept begins 14 units up the y-axis.

• Given the table of values, you can identify these points:
If you plot them on a Coordinate Plane, you get:
As you can observe, it is a Linear Function.
• The equation of a line in Slope-Intercept Form is:
Where "m" is the slope of the line and "b" is the y-intercept.
In this case, you can identify in the graph that:
Therefore, you can substitute that value and the coordinates of one of the points on the line, into this equation:
And then solve for "m", in order to find the slope of the line.
Using this point:
You get:
Therefore, the equation for the data in Slope-Intercept Form is:
Hence, the answer is:
• It represents a Linear Function.
,• Equation:
