Question

Which equation represents the linear relationship between x and y that is shown in the

table below?

Answer 1

y= 5-x

Explanation:

We notice that when we put 5 for x we get 0 which means that we must be subtracting the given x value by constant

y= 5-x makes sense, try plugging in any x value given in table and you will get its y counterpart back.

For eg, when x= -1

y= 5- (-1) = 6 (negatives add)
