Question

X y

0 -3
2 5
3 9
4 13

Which equation matches the table?
A) y = x - 3
B) y = x + 3
C) y = 4x - 3
D) y = 4x + 3

Answer 1

Let's prove each one:
A) y=x-3
x=0→y=0-3→y=-3=-3 ok
x=2→y=2-3→y=-1 different to 5 No

B) y=x+3
x=0→y=0+3→y=3 different to -3 No

C) y=4x-3
x=0→y=4(0)-3=0-3→y=-3=-3 ok
x=2→y=4(2)-3=8-3→y=5=5 ok
x=3→y=4(3)-3=12-3→y=9=9 ok
x=4→y=4(4)-3=16-3→y=13=13 ok

D) y=4x+3
x=0→y=4(0)+3=0+3→y=3 different to -3 No

Answer: Option C) y=4x-3
