Question

Write a rule for the linear function in the table.

Answer 1

I have this big hw thing i have to do and if i fail it then i am done for that is y i am asking for so much help

Answer 2

its fine, i see the pattern, but idk how to right it as a rule, let me think a little more

Answer 3

kk its just like the first one

Answer 4

@jim_thompson5910 can u help find the rule??

Answer 5

r u trying to find the equation??

Answer 6

yep

Answer 7

..... i sure am

Answer 8

hey, i cant find this one, SRY:(

Answer 9

oh its fine

Answer 10

notice as x increases by 1, y decreases by 1

Answer 11

this means that this function is linear

Answer 12

slope between the points (1, 3) and (2, 2)


m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = ( 2- 3)/(2-1)

m = (-1)/1

m = -1


y-intercept


y = mx + b

y = -1x + b

3 = -1(1) + b

3 = -1 + b

3 + 1 = b

b = 4



m = -1
b = 4

y = mx + b

y = -1x + 4

y = -x + 4

So the function is f(x) = -x+4

I'll let you do the checks
