Question

What is the equation of the line represented by the table below?

Answer 1

The answer is choice D.

Answer 2

First, find the slope (m) using the formula:
`m=(y_(2)- y_(1) )/(x_(2) - x_(1) )`

`m=(11 - 6)/(-1 - 0)` =
`m=(5)/(-1)` = -5

Next, plug in the slope (m) and ONE point (x₁, y₁) into the Point-Slope equation:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

y - 6 = -5(x - 0)

y - 6 = -5x

y = -5x + 6

Answer: D
