x +

Answer 1

Explanation:

From the given table, we pick up two points and find the slope using the formula

Points are (1,-2) and (2,-6)

Substituting these values in the formula, we will get

Now we will use point slope form, which is

Substituting one point and the value of m, we will get

Distributing -4 on x-1
