@that girl is correct
That girl is correct 100%%%
me too.
that girl did it right , long time ago , I wonder what she is doing rn : (
To determine which kind of function best models the given set of data points, we can observe the pattern formed by the x and y values.
Linear functions have a constant rate of change between the x and y values. If the pattern formed by the data points can be connected by a straight line, then a linear function is the best fit.
Examining the given set of data points (-1,22), (0,6), (1,-10), (2,-26), and (3,-42), we can identify that the y value decreases by a constant amount as the x value increases by 1.
Let's calculate the differences in the y values:
6 - 22 = -16
-10 - 6 = -16
-26 - (-10) = -16
-42 - (-26) = -16
As we can see, the differences between the y values are the same (-16) for each consecutive pair of data points.
Since the pattern formed by the data points can be connected by a straight line with a constant rate of change, a linear function is indeed the best fit.
Therefore, your answer of linear is correct.
