Question

Is the relationship shown by the data linear? If so, model the data with an equation.


x
y
–9
–2
–5
–7
–1
–12
3
–17

The relationship is linear; y + 9 = mc016-2.jpg(x + 2).
The relationship is linear; y + 2 = mc016-3.jpg(x + 9).
The relationship is linear; y + 2 = mc016-1.jpg(x + 9).
The relationship is not linear.
