Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given the table:
x | 1 2 3 4
y | -5 -7 -9 -11
Find the slope using the two point formula.
Take the points (1, -5) and (2, -7).

Substitute the value of the slope into the slope-intercept form y = mx+c.

Plug the point (1, -5) into y = -2x+c to find c.

Thus, y = -2x - 3, which is the required equation of the given linear function.
