Question

Substitute values in the equation y = 1-3 to complete the table.

Part A.
x(input) -2 ,-1 ,0, 1, 2
y(output) a, b, c, d, e
Part B
Is the above table a function?
A. Yes, it is.
B. No, it is not

Answer 1

A.

a = -5

b = -4

c = -3

d = -2

e = -1

B. Yes. It is

Explanation:

The given function is: y = x - 3.

Substituting the values for x, we get values of a,b,c,d,e.

Value of a: a = -2 - 3 = -5

Value of b: b = -1 - 3 = -4

Value of c: c = 0 - 3 = -3

Value of d: d = 1 - 3 = -2

Value of e: e = 2 - 3 = -1

The given function is y = x - 3

This is the equation of a line. Clearly it is a function.
