I believe the answer is D
There is no exact rule for lines of best fit. However, in general, there should be roughly the same amount above as below. So, if we are following this rule, there should be about 4 below as well.
Answer:
No, because as the x-values are increasing by a constant amount, the y-values are not being multiplied by a constant amount.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have a set of ordered pairs of the form (x, y)
If a function is exponential then the ratio between the consecutive values of y, is always equal to a constant.
This means that:
\frac{y_2}{y_1}=\frac{y_3}{y_2}=\frac{y_4}{y_3}=by1y2=y2y3=y3y4=b
This is: y_2=by_1y2=by1
Now we have this set of points {(-1, -5), (0, -3), (1, -1), (2, 1)}
Observe that:
\begin{gathered}\frac{y_2}{y_1}=\frac{-3}{-5}=\frac{3}{5}\\\\\frac{y_3}{y_2}=\frac{-1}{-3}=\frac{1}{3}\\\\\frac{3}{5}\neq \frac{1}{3}\end{gathered}y1y2=−5−3=53y2y3=−3−1=3153=31
Then the values of y are not multiplied by a constant amount "b"
Answer:
y = - 
x + 6
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + b ( m is the slope and b the y- intercept )
Calculate m using the slope formula
m = 
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 6) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 0) ← 2 points on the line
m = 
= 
= -
Since the line crosses the y- axis at (0, 6) ⇒ b = 6
y = - x + 6 ← equation of line
