Question

Which table shows the same rate of change of y with respect to x as y =4-5/8x? How would I even figure this out?

Table A
Table B
Table C
Table D

Answer 1

To figure this out you have to plug in values
c
4-5/8(-4)=6.5
4-5/8(2)=2.75
4-5/8(4)=1.5
4-5/8(8)=-1

Answer 2

Table B

Explanation:

from the given equation

`y=4-(5)/(8)x`

now to figure out the table which is correct we will insert values of x one by one in the given equation and will find the value of y.

Table A
`y=4-(5)/(8)(-3)`

`y=4+(15)/(8)`

Table B
`y=4-(5)/(8)(-4)`

`y=4+2.5` = 6.5

Table C
`y=4-(5)/(8)(-4)`

`y=4+2.5` = 6.5

Table D
`y=4-(5)/(8)(-3)`

`y=4+(15)/(8)`

hence the correct answer is Table B
