Write an equation that represents the data in the function tables X 0 1 2 3 4
f(x) -3 -5 -7 -9 -11

hai ^-^

x values increase by 2 every time. The y-values are decreasing by 4. So, as x increases, so the y-value "doubles". This is a "two-times table" just like 2,4,6,8,10, etc. Algebraically, this is y=2x.

Since we have "as x increase, so y decreases", then algebraically this is y=-2x.

Now we don't have THE 2-times table, we have a "shifted" version, so we need to find this shift value. To do this, put ANY value of x you have into our guess of y=-2x, get an answer then look at the actual answer and see what value we need to add or subtract to get that:

OK - i pick x=0, since this is the value of x to give me least work.

when x=0, y=-2x becomes y=0. However y should equal 5 when x=0, so we need to ADD 5 to our value of zero. So, the formula is now y=-2x+5.

Now, lets check it with another value of x. Pick one that is a fair way away from your original chosen value (x=0). I pick x=6

y=-2x+5

y=-2(6)+5

y = -12+5

y = -7 --> CORRECT

So, the equation of the line that has the set of coordinates on it is y=-2x+5

hope this helps!

answer: the proof is mentioned below.

step-by-step explanation:

since, given:   lines bc = ef

prove:   lines ac > ef

          statements                                           reason

1. bc=ef                                           1. given

2. ac= ab+bc                                 2. because b is the point between the  

                                                            line segment ac

3.   ac > bc                                       3. because if a line segment is equal to

                                                          the sum of two line segments then it is

                                                          always greater then each of these

                                                          individual line segments

4. ac > ef                                         4. by equality property.
