1. Graph the data in the table. Which kind of function best models the data? Write an equation to model the data.

A. exponential; y = –6 • 1.5x

B. quadratic; y = –x2

C. exponential; y = 6 • 2.5x

D. linear; y = –3x – 6

D. linear; y = –3x – 6

B. quadratic; y = –x2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

A (0,-2) B (1,-3) C (2,-4) D ( 3,-5) E (4,-6)

using a graph tool

see the attached figure N 1

case a) exponential

see the attached figure N 2

case b) quadratic

see the attached figure N 3

case c) linear

see the attached figure N 4

case d) linear

see the attached figure N 5

therefore

the answer is

the case c) linear

For the first part

What type of function best models the data in the graph?

✔ quadratic

y = 0.433x2 for the second part.

Option (2).

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached,

Since there is a common difference in each successive term and previous term of y,

          = -3

          = -3

Therefore, this data represents a linear equation.

Now we choose two points from the table given.

Let the points are (0, -6) and (1, -9)

Slope of this line 'm' =  

m =  = -3

Y-intercept 'b' = -6

Equation of the line will be,

y = -3x - 6

Option (2) will be the answer.

solve systems of equations by graphing. a system of linear equations contains two or more equations e.g. y=0.5x+2 and y=x-2. the solution of such a system is the ordered pair that is a solution to both equations. to solve a system of linear equations graphically we graph both equations in the same coordinate system
