Question

Find the equation of the linear function represented by the table below in slope-intercept form.

Answer 1

y=-2x+5

Explanation:

For every increase in x, y decreases by 2

so the slope is -2

You can solve for the y-intercept by going backward, 1-1=0, 3+2=5

the y-intercept is (0,5)

Using the slope intercept equation format, the answer is y-2x+5
