Answer:
The relationship is linear: y -5 = 2 (x+7)
Step-by-step explanation:
While the difference between -7 and -5 / -5 and -3 / -3 and -1 is always 2 teh difference between 5 and 9 / 9 and 13 / 13 and 17 is always 4.
y-5 = -1/2 (x +7)
for x= -7 and y = 5 this is true
for x=-5 and y = 9 this is not true
y + 7 = 1/2 (x-5)
for x= -7 and y = 5 this is not true
y -5 = 2 (x+7)
for x= -7 and y = 5 this is true
for x = -5 and y = 9 this is true
for x = -3 and y = 13 this is true
for x = -1 and y = 17 this is true
