Answer:

D

Explanation:

Find the slope by picking two ordered pairs in the table and using the slope formula( y2-y1/x2-x1) to get the slope. The smallest numbers are easiest to work with. (-1,1), (0,-2)

-2-1/0-(-1) = 3/0+1 = -3/1 = m=-3

Use one of the points you used and plug in the x and y values of the ordered pair into the equation with the slope to find your b( y-intercept). (0,-2)

-2= -3(0) +b

-2= 0+b

b=-2

The final equation will only have your slope and b( y-intercept). That should be your answer. Hope this helps!

Final Equation: y=-3x-2
