Question

Select the linear equation that represents the data given in the table.

Answer 1

C) y = -3x + 5

Explanation:

(0,5) represents the point where the line intersects the y-axis; we can eliminate answers A and D as they don't indicate that

to find the slope we can use these two points:

(-1,8)(0,5)

slope = (8-5)/(-1-0) = -3
