The rate of change = (change in y)/(change in x) = (10-80)/(5-(-2)) = -70/7 = -10

The y-intercept = the value of y when x=0 = 80
The equation of the line is y = -10x + 80

Apologies for the error in the previous response.

To find the rate of change, we need to calculate the difference in y-values divided by the difference in x-values:
Rate of change = (change in y) / (change in x)
= (10 - 80) / (5 - 2)
= -70 / 3
= -23.33 (approximate)

The y-intercept is the value of y when x = 0. From the table, we can see that when x = 0, y = 80. Therefore, the y-intercept is 80.

The equation of the line is in the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope (rate of change) and b is the y-intercept. Substituting the values from the table, we have:
y = -23.33x + 80
