Write a function that represents the data set (-4, 9), (0, 1), (1, -1), (3, -5),
(4, -7).
Assuming this is linear, use the 1st and last coordinates to find the slope:
x1=-4; y1=9
x2=+4; y2=-7
:
The slope formula: m =
Find the slope:
m = = m =
:
m = = -2
:
Use the slope intercept formula: y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 9 = -2(x - (-4))
:
y - 9 = -2(x + 4)
:
y - 9 = -2x - 8
:
y = -2x - 8 + 9
:
y = -2x + 1
or
f(x) = -2x + 1
:
You can check and see if this fits the data set
