For their cd collections, alan, tom, and barbara have a total of 52 cd’s. if barbara had 6 more, then she would have as many as both of the boys together. tom has three more cd’s than alan. how many cd’s does each of the three have?

the required function is .

step-by-step explanation:

from the given table it is noticed that the graph passing through (-3,7), (0,4), (3,1) and (8,-4).

it is a linear function because the value of y is decrease by one as the value of x increase by 1.

the slope of the function is

the slope of the function is -1 and the y-intercept is 4.

the slope intercept form is

where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.

therefore the required function is . the graph of this function is shown below.
