Which of the sets of ordered pairs represents a function?
a = {(2, −2), (5, −5), (−2, 2), (−5, 5)}
b = {(4, 2), (4, −2), (9, 3), (9, −3)}
only a
only b
both a and b
neither a nor b

the required function is .

step-by-step explanation:

from the given table it is noticed that the graph passing through (-3,7), (0,4), (3,1) and (8,-4).

it is a linear function because the value of y is decrease by one as the value of x increase by 1.

the slope of the function is

the slope of the function is -1 and the y-intercept is 4.

the slope intercept form is

where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.

therefore the required function is . the graph of this function is shown below.

f(x) is going down by 4

step-by-step explanation:

(its either that or its going left by 4)
