Question

Create a table of values for the function graphed below using the plotted points. Remember, table of values are written with the -values in order from least to greatest (read the graph from left to right).

Answer 1

To create the table of values, we need to find the coordinates of the given points.

The coordinatesare given by (x,y), where x ican be found by drawing an imaginary vertical line passing through the point, and the x-value is the value of the x-axis where the line intercepts the x-axis.

The y-coordinate is given by the point of interception on the y-axis of a horizontal line passing through the point, so, for the fir tpoint the coordinates are:

`\begin{gathered} (-2,5) \\ x-value\rightarrow-2 \\ y-value\rightarrow5 \end{gathered}`

If we apply the same procedure to the next points, we can find the following coordinates:

`\begin{gathered} (-1,4) \\ (0,3) \\ (1,2) \\ (2,1) \end{gathered}`

Thus, th table of values will be:

x y

-2 5

-1 4

0 3

1 2

2 1
