Write an equation for a graph with points of: (-8,-7)(0,-7)(8,-7)
------------------
There are an infinite # of equations that can pass thru those points.
The simplest is a straight line y = -7

Three points cannot uniquely determine a function. In fact, any finite number of points cannot determine a unique function. Here, we could say that f(x) = -7 works, but it is not the only function. For example, f(x) = x(x-8)(x+8) - 7 works as well.
