Find the equation of the linear function represented by the table below in slope intercept form. !

y = - 2x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the equation of a straight line i.e. a linear function it will be sufficient to have two known points on the straight line.

Now, from the given table we see that (1,-7) and (2,-9) are two points on the straight line.

Therefore, the equation of the straight line will be  

⇒ - 2x + 4 = y + 9

⇒ 2x + y + 5 = 0

Therefore, in slope-intercept form we get,

y = - 2x - 5 (Answer)

{Because y = mx + c is the slope-intercept form of straight line equation}

step-by-step explanation:

you can add the two numbers and divide the result by 2. or you can find the gap between the two numbers and add half of this to the smaller number.

a is the right answer
