Write a linear equation in the form of y = mx + b for the following table.

x y
4 -7
8 -21
12 -35
The equation from the table is: y=_____x+____

y = -7/2x - 21

wrong

I apologize for the error. Let's find the correct equation.

To find the equation in the form of y = mx + b, we need to determine the values of m (slope) and b (y-intercept) using the given points from the table.

We can start by finding the slope (m) using two points from the table. Let's choose the points (4, -7) and (8, -21).

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
m = (-21 - (-7)) / (8 - 4)
m = (-21 + 7) / 4
m = -14 / 4
m = -3.5

Now we have the slope (m = -3.5).

Next, we can find the y-intercept (b) by substituting the slope and one of the points into the equation y = mx + b. Let's use the point (4, -7).

-7 = -3.5(4) + b
-7 = -14 + b
b = -7 + 14
b = 7

Now we have found the slope (m = -3.5) and the y-intercept (b = 7).

Therefore, the equation from the table is:
y = -3.5x + 7
