7. Which kind of function best models the data in the table? Graph the data and write an equation to model the data.

A. exponential; y = 3x – 1

B. linear; y = x – 1

C. quadratic; y = x2 – 1

D. linear; y = –x – 1

D. linear; y = –x – 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear; y=-x - 1

The slope is negative since it’s decreasing. So it’s not the first equation. It’s not a quadratic equation because there is no forming U shape for this data. It’s not a exponential function because the slope is not 3 and a exponential function is in the form y=a(b)^x

The correct answer is D) linear; y = –x – 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, use any values in the table and it will produce a true statement. This is how we check to see if a model is correct. See the two examples below for proof.

(4, 5)

y = -x - 1

-5 = -4 - 1

- 5 = -5 (TRUE)

(0, -1)

y = -x - 1

-1 = 0 - 1

-1 = -1 (TRUE)

step-by-step explanation:

+25 = x

step-by-step explanation:

here x is the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs are 7 and 24.   by the pythagorean theorem, 7² + 24² must equal x²:

x² = 49 + 576 = 625.   thus, x = +√625 = +25 = x
