Given the following table, find the equation that matches it.

The equation that matches the table is y = -5x + 7 ⇒ C

Step-by-step explanation:

The form of the linear equation is y = m x + b, where

The rule of the slope is m =   , where

From the given table

→ Choose any two points from the table

∵ Points (0, 7) and (1, 2) are in the table

∴ x1 = 0 and y1 = 7

∴ x2 = 1 and y2 = 2

→ Substitute them in the rule of the slope above

∵ m =

∴ m = -5

→ Substitute it in the form of the equation above

∵ y = -5x + b

∵ b is the value of y at x = 0

∵ At x = 0, y = 7

∴ b = 7

∴ y = -5x + 7

∴ The equation that matches the table is y = -5x + 7

b
