Answer:

To graph the function, we need to first find the slope of the line passing through the given points:

slope = (change in y) / (change in x) = (1 - (-8)) / (10 - (-5)) = 9 / 15 = 3/5

Now we can use the point-slope form of the equation of a line to write the equation of the line:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

where m is the slope and (x1, y1) is one of the given points. Let's choose the point (10, 1):

y - 1 = (3/5)(x - 10)

Simplifying, we get:

y = (3/5)x - 17/5

Now we can use this equation to complete the table:

x y

-5 -11/5

-3 -7/5

0 -17/5

2 -13/5

5 -7/5

7 -1/5

10 1

To graph the function, we can plot the points from the table and draw a straight line passing through them.
