Hi!
Linear functions have a continuous pattern. Let's see which one of these tables has a pattern.
Choice 1: No Pattern
Choice 2: There is a Pattern
Choice 3: No Pattern
Choice 4: No Pattern
So, Choice 2 is a linear function. If you plot the points and graph the function, you'll have a line.
The graph of a linear function is always a line.
I hope it helps!

Explanation:
Let's add point P at the location 0 on the number line.
The distance from L to P is 2 units. We can say LP = 2, ie segment LP is 2 units long.
Similarly, segment PN is 12 units long
Refer to the diagram below
The segments LP = 2 (red) and PN = 12 (blue) are then added to get the total distance from L to N. That total distance being LN = LP+PN = 2+12 = 14.
Point M is not used at all.
Answer:
<em><u>slope is -7/8</u></em>
Step-by-step explanation:
ok
first remember these to formulas:
and
now insert the points:
= -7/8
slope intercept form:
y - 4 = -7/8(x - (-5)
y - 4 = -7/8(x + 5)
y = -7x/8 - 3/8
Have a nice day!
