Which is a table of values for y = x - 6?
a.)
x | y
-5 | 1
-8 | -14
-7 | -14
b.)
x | y
-5 | 1
-8 | -14
-7 | -13
c.)
x | y
-5 | -11
-8 | -14
-7 | -13
d.)
-5 | 1
-8 | -2
-7 | -1
I think the answer is D!
You are right. :-)
Thank you a bunch Ms. Sue! Just wanted to make sure I was right :)
You are very welcome, Bri.
actually the correct table is C
e.g. look at the first one
x = -5
y = -5 - 6 = -11
try the others.
Thanks, Reiny. I didn't catch that the values were reversed from the problem.
To determine which table of values represents the equation y = x - 6, we can substitute the x-values from each table into the equation and check if the resulting y-values match.
Let's evaluate each option:
a.)
x | y
-5 | 1
-8 | -14
-7 | -14
For x = -5:
y = (-5) - 6 = -11
For x = -8:
y = (-8) - 6 = -14
For x = -7:
y = (-7) - 6 = -13
As we can see, the y-values in this table do not match the equation y = x - 6. Therefore, option A is incorrect.
b.)
x | y
-5 | 1
-8 | -14
-7 | -13
For x = -5:
y = (-5) - 6 = -11
For x = -8:
y = (-8) - 6 = -14
For x = -7:
y = (-7) - 6 = -13
The y-values in this table match the equation y = x - 6. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
c.)
x | y
-5 | -11
-8 | -14
-7 | -13
For x = -5:
y = (-5) - 6 = -11
For x = -8:
y = (-8) - 6 = -14
For x = -7:
y = (-7) - 6 = -13
The y-values in this table also match the equation y = x - 6. However, the x-value for -5 is paired with -11, which does not align with the equation. Therefore, option C is incorrect.
d.)
-5 | 1
-8 | -2
-7 | -1
For x = -5:
y = (-5) - 6 = -11
For x = -8:
y = (-8) - 6 = -14
For x = -7:
y = (-7) - 6 = -13
The y-values in this table match the equation y = x - 6. Additionally, all the x-values are paired with the correct y-values. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.
Based on this analysis, the correct answer is option D.
