Find the equation of the linear function represented by the table below in slope-intercept form.

x y

1 1

2 - 2

3 - 5

4 - 8

Slope intercept form is Mx+b

So let's find a pattern

I see that you are subtracting by 3

So y=-3x+

Now to find b you need to take a step back so add 3

B is 4

Y=-3x+4

Now always check your work

-3 (2) + 4

Which equals - 2

So your equations is y=-3x+4
