Question

Fill in the missing numbers to complete the linear equation that gives the rule for this table.

Answer 1

y= -10x-24

Explanation:

To write the linear equation, first find the slope.

`m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`

Let's pick the first two x and y values as our coordinate points.

(1, -34) (2, -44)

`(-44-(-34))/(2-1) =-10`

The slope is -10.

Use the point-slope formula to write the equation.

y-y1= m(x-x1)

y-(-34)= -10(x-1)

y+34= -10x+10

y= -10x-24
