The table shows values for points on the graph of a function.


Point T U V W

x —5, —2, —1, 1


y 4, 1, —2, —4


Can the function be represented by a straight line? Why or why not?

ANo; the slope of the segment between U and W and the slope of the segment between T and V are both are negative.

BNo; the slope of the segment between U and V is not equal to the slope of the segment between T and V.

CYes; the slope of the segment between T and U is equal to the slope of the segment between V and W.

DYes; the slope of the segment between W and T is equal to the slope of the segment between V and W.
