7x−4y=−84
For the given equation, which table gives three values of x and their corresponding values of y?
Explanation
Choice A is correct. To verify which table represents this linear relationship, the values in each table can be checked by substituting them into the given equation. The table in choice A shows that when x=0, y=21. Substituting these values into the given equation yields 7(0)−4(21)=−84, or −84=−84, which is true. Additionally, the table in choice A shows that when x=4, y=28. Substituting these values into the given equation yields 7(4)−4(28)=−84, or −84=−84, which is true. Finally, the table in choice A shows that when x=8, y=35. Substituting these values into the given equation yields 7(8)−4(35)=−84, or −84=−84, which is true. Therefore, the table in choice A gives three values of x and their corresponding values of y.
Choice B is incorrect. The table in choice B shows that when x=0, y=35. Substituting these values into the given equation yields 7(0)−4(35)=−84, or , which is not true.
Choice C is incorrect. The table in choice C shows that when , . Substituting these values into the given equation yields , or , which is not true.
Choice D is incorrect. The table in choice D shows that when , . Substituting these values into the given equation yields , or , which is not true.
