Which equation describes the function represented by the table?

y = x - (-11)

y = 4x + 6

y = -7x - 5

y = -3x + 9

Which equation describes the function represented by the table y x 11 y 4x 6 y 7x 5 y 3x 9 class=

Answer:

[tex]\displaystyle y=-7x-5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of the Line

The equation of a line passing through points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) can be found as follows:

[tex]\displaystyle y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)[/tex]

We'll take the first two points (-2,9) and (-1,2)

[tex]\displaystyle y-9=\frac{2-9}{-1+2}(x+2)[/tex]

Operating:

[tex]\displaystyle y-9=\frac{-7}{1}(x+2)[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle y-9=-7(x+2)[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle y-9=-7x-14[/tex]

Adding 9:

[tex]\boxed{\displaystyle y=-7x-5}[/tex]

Substituting the last two points we can verify they also belong to the line.
