every time x increases by 1,y decreases by 3,and when x is -6,yis-3.which function models the realation ship between x and y?

A)y= -6x-21

B)y= -6x-3

C)y= -3x-3

D)y= -3x-21

Verified Answer :

I think that it would be B because -6x-3 seems to follow the rules given here.

Answer:

D. \(y=-3x-21\)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that every time x increases by 1,y decreases by 3. This means that slope of our given line is negative 3.

We will use slope-intercept form of equation to find the required function.

\(y=mx+b\), where,

m = Slope of line,

b= The y-intercept.

Upon substituting \(m=-3\) and \(x=-6\) and \(y=-3\) in slope-intercept form of equation, we will get,

\(-3=-3\times -6+b\)

\(-3=18+b\)

\(-3-18=18-18+b\)

\(-21=b\)

Upon substituting \(m=-3\) and \(b=-21\) in slope-intercept form of equation, we will get our required equation as:

\(y=-3x-21\)

Therefore, option D is the correct choice.
