The data that represent the linear, exponential or quadratic function.
Answer to Problem 26E
The function that models the given data is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The given as function as shown below,
Formula used:
The slope-intercept form
Calculation:
Notice that the graph show points that form a line therefore the data must represent a linear function.
Write the equation of the linear function. The graph shows that the function’s y-intercept is -2. Write the equation of the line using the slope-intercept form
Use any point, say (1, -4), to find the value of m:
Substitute the value of m into the equation to have:
Therefore the function that models the given data is
Conclusion:
The function that models the given data is
