If A = {( x , y ): (2, -2), (4, -1), (6, 0), . . .}, complete the rule for set A .

y=

1/2x - 3
-1/2x + 3
-1/2x - 1

Let's plug some values and see which satisfy the equations:


Testing [tex] y = \frac{1}{2}x-3 [/tex]:


[tex] (2, -2) \to -2 = \frac{1}{2}\cdot 2 - 3 = 1-3 [/tex], which holds.


[tex] (4, -1) \to -1 = \frac{1}{2}\cdot 4 - 3 = 2-3 [/tex], which holds.


[tex] (6, 0) \to 0 = \frac{1}{2}\cdot 6 - 3 = 3-3 [/tex], which holds.


Since only one line can pass through these three points, we can already claim that the first option is the correct one.
