Torvald uses an equation to produce the following table of

ordered pairs:
X
-2
0
y
-7
-3
1
5
Which equation describes this list?
24

Answer 1

x + 4

For the equation to be true, you have to input the x value and it should give you the y value that corresponds. For example, we will input -2. Hopefully we get -7

-2 + 4

2

this means that x + 4 is not correct.

What about -3x? lets see

-3(-2)

-6

nope!

2x - 3

2(-2) - 3

-4 - 3

-7!!

2x - 3 is the answer!!
