Assume this is a linear function. So this means Slope between (0,0) and (4, -16): m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) m = (-16 - 0)/(4 - 0) m = -16/4 m = -4 y-intercept: y = mx + b y = -4x + b 0 = -4(0) + b 0 = 0 + b b = 0 So the equation is y = -4x making the function to be f(x) = -4x we can then check every point to make sure this is indeed the function if x = -4, then y = -4(-4) = 16 so that works if x = 0, then y = -4(0) = 0 so that works if x = 4, then y = -4(4) = -16 so that works if x = 8, then y = -4(8) = -32 so that works all 4 checks work out, so that confirms the answer
