-29
A y = x + 9
B y = x2 + 3
Cy=-3x + 1
Dy = x-7

Answer 1

Answer: C) y = -3x + 1

Explanation:

x y

-2 7

2 -5

4 -11

6 -17

10 -29

Choose any two coordinates to find the slope:
`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

m = -6/2

= -3

Choose any point and plug it into the Point-Slope formula:
`y-y_1=m(x-x_1)`

y - 7 = -3(x + 2)

y - 7 = -3x - 6

y = -3x + 1
