Answer:
-5
-3
-2
Rule: Subtract 2 from the input value
Step-by-step explanation:
Examine the pattern of the input and the corresponding output for the two given ordered pairs:
Input -2 → Output -4
Output - Input = -4 - (-2) = -2
Input 1 → Output -1
Output - Input = -1 - 1 = -2
Therefore to get the output value (y-value), we subtract 2 from the input value (x-value).
[tex]\begin{array}{| c | c |}\cline{1-2} x & y \\\cline{1-2} -3 & -5 \\\cline{1-2} -2 & -4 \\\cline{1-2} -1 & -3 \\\cline{1-2} 0 & -2\\\cline{1-2} 1 & -1 \\\cline{1-2}\end{array}[/tex]
As the rule for the function is the subtract 2 from the input value to get the output value, we can write this as:
Output = Input - 2
or as an equation: [tex]y=x-2[/tex]
