Tell whether the data in the table can be modeled by a linear equation. Explain. A table listing pairs of x and y values. First pair. Negative 3 and 16. Second pair. Negative 1 and 10. Third pair. 1 and 4. Fourth pair. 3 and negative 2. Fifth pair. 5 and negative 8. The data be modeled by a linear equation because the rate of change constant. Question 2 If possible, write a linear equation that represents y as a function of x. If not possible, leave blank.
