Step-by-step explanation:

T  |  0   |   1    |  2   |  3   |

C  | 24  |  21  |  18  |  15  |

Rule:

To find a rule, we need to find 2 things- what T is multiplied by and what is added.

To find what it is multiplied, we need to see the increase or decrease in C for every T. In this equation, there is a decrease of 3, so we multiply T by -3.

To find what is added, we go to 0 T and find the corresponding number. When T is 0, C is 24 so we add 24.

We write a rule as:  y = mx + c, or in this case, c = mt + a

So the rule is c = -3x + 24
