Answer 1

-48

Explanation:

Take two points such as (3.-27) and (5.-41).

Find the slope from the points using the formula

`(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)` . The setup should look like
`(-41-(-27))/(5-3)` = -7.

Therefore, our slope is -7.

Now we can use point slope form to find an equation.

`y-y_1=m(x-x_1)`.

Substituting the point (3,-27) in, we get
`y-(-27)=-7(x-3)`.

This equation simplifies to
`y=-7x-6`.

Now that we have an equation for our table, we can insert 6 into our equation.

`y=-7(6)-6=-48`

∴ When
`x=6, y =-48`
