which kind of function best models the set of data points (-1,22),(0,6),(2,-26), and (3,-42) ?

Based on the given data points, it can be observed that as the x-values increase, the y-values decrease. This suggests that the set of data points is best modeled by a function that decreases as the input (x-value) increases.

One possible function that best models the given data points is a linear function (i.e., a straight line).
