we know that

The student wrote the equation


f(x)=-4sin(pi)/(6)x+5

For x=0, f(x)=1 -----> information given by the table

but

if you substitute x=0 in the equation


\begin{gathered} f(x)=-4s\imaginaryI n(p\imaginaryI)/(6)(0)+5 \\ f(x)=5 \end{gathered}

The equation is not correct to model the data

therefore

The answer is option B
