Q. BIG, IDE:IS MATH운\#7 iListenWrite a linear function that relates y to x.\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|}\hlinex & 0 & 1.5 & 3 & 4.5 \\\hliney & 5 & 4 & 3 & 2 \\\hline\end{tabular}y=Previous234567
Identify Pattern: Identify the pattern in the x and y values.We have the following pairs of x and y values:(0,5), (1.5,4), (3,3), (4.5,2)We notice that as x increases by 1.5, y decreases by y1.
Calculate Slope: Calculate the slope m of the linear function.The slope is the change in y divided by the change in x.Using the first two points (0,5) and (1.5,4), we calculate the slope:m=x2−x1y2−y1=1.5−04−5=−1.51=−32
Find Y-Intercept: Use the slope and one of the points to find the y-intercept b. We can use the point (0,5) and the slope −32 in the slope-intercept form of a line, y=mx+b. 5=(−32)(0)+b5=0+bb=5
Write Linear Function: Write the linear function using the slope and y-intercept.The linear function is y=mx+b.Substituting the values of m and b, we get:y=(−32)x+5
