PLEASE HELPwhich function rule would help you find the values in the tablep 2, 4, 6, 8q -14, -28, -42, -56A. q = -7pB. q = p - 7C. q = - 14pD. q = p - 14

The slope of the function is;


\text{Slope}=\text{ }(q_2-q_1)/(p_2-p_1)=(-28--14)/(4-2)=(-28+14)/(2)=-(14)/(2)=-7

The rule that defined the function is;


\begin{gathered} q-q_1=slope(p-p_1) \\ q--14=-7(p-2) \\ q+14=-7p+14 \\ q=-7p\text{ (option A)} \end{gathered}
