Question

Which of the following statements is true about the function presented in the table?

a. The slope of the function is 4 and the y-intercept is 2.
b. The slope of the function is 4 and the y-intercept is -2.
c. The slope of the function is -2 and the y-intercept is 4.
d. The slope of the function is 2 and the y-intercept is 4.

Answer 1

C. The slope of the function is -2 and the y-intercept is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept is the point when x = 0. On the table when x is 0, y is 4.

The slope of the function is -2 because the y value is going down by 2 for each +1 of x.

x │ y

-2 │ 8

0 │ 4

↓ +1 ↓ -2

1 │ 2

↓ +1 ↓ -2

2 │ 0
