Which equation represents the relationship between the x-and y-values shown in the table. x. y
7. 17
5. 11
3. 5
2. 2
A. y=2x-1
B. y=x + 10
C. y=3x -4
D. y=2x + 1​

C. y = 3x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given coordinates:

(2, 2), (3, 5), (5, 11), (7, 17)

The equation of any straight line is

y = mx + c

Where

m = Gradient

c = Constant

Gradient = y2 - y1/x2 - x1

Substitute any two values of y with the respective values of x.

Gradient = 17 - 2/7 - 2

= 15/5

= 3

Substitute the gradient into the general formula.

y = 3x + c

Substitute any value of the coordinate to the equation

2 = 3(2) + c

2 = 6 + c

c = -4

From y = mx + c,

substitute the values of m, the gradient, and c, the constant.

y = (3)x + (-4)

y = 3x - 4

i would say c is the best answer, hope it's right!

good luck! =)

answer:   b

step-by-step explanation:

x2 = 16

x can not be a negative number because 16 is positive

the only answer would be positive 8
