the table represents a linear function.
a) -8
b) -4
c) 2
d) 5

Answer:
b. -4
Step-by-step explanation:
Every time one x value increases the y value decreases by 4. In the x values shown the number that should come after -4 is -3 so the y values -2 and -2 that are 8 units apart should be halved and be -4. This function maintains a constant rate of change throughout the function.
