Question

write an equation and draw a graph for the table

X=-1,0,1,2,3 and Y=6,4.5,3,1.5,0

Answer 1

graph the points first.

Answer 2

coordinates would be (-1, 6) ; (0,4.5); (1,3); ...

what hope said, just graph the points, then if it looks linear, use a ruler and draw a line through the points

Answer 3

example of the first point, in case you dont know how to plot coordinate points

Answer 4

How would you go about finding an equation for the set of numbers tho?

Answer 5

assuming the graph is linear

IMPORTANT LINE RELATED EQUATIONS TO KNOW AND MEMORIZE

slope formula
m= slope/ gradiant -- same thing
\[m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\]

standard formula
\[Ax+By=C\]

point-slope formula
\[y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\]

slope-intercept formula
b= y-intercept -- in the form of (0,y)

\[y=mx+b\]

Answer 6

first find the slope,

then using a point and a slope, plug it into the point slope equation, and convert the equation into either standard or slope intercept form
