Classify -12/3 as either natural, whole, integer, or rational.

Rational

Step-by-step explanation:

Natural numbers are whole numbers that go from 1 to infinity

Whole numbers are non-fraction positive numbers that go from 0 to infinity

Integers are non-fraction numbers that include negative and positive numbers

Rational numbers include every number that can be expressed as a fraction

because -12/3 is a fraction, it is classified as a rational number

the required function is .

step-by-step explanation:

from the given table it is noticed that the graph passing through (-3,7), (0,4), (3,1) and (8,-4).

it is a linear function because the value of y is decrease by one as the value of x increase by 1.

the slope of the function is

the slope of the function is -1 and the y-intercept is 4.

the slope intercept form is

where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.

therefore the required function is . the graph of this function is shown below.

arrange the equations with like terms in columns.

analyze the coefficients of x or y.

add the equations and solve for the remaining variable.

substitute the value into either equation and solve.

check the solution.
