Tell whether the data in the table can be modeled by a linear equation. Explain. A table listing pairs of x and y values. First pair. Negative 3 and 16. Second pair. Negative 1 and 10. Third pair. 1 and 4. Fourth pair. 3 and negative 2. Fifth pair. 5 and negative 8. The data can be modeled by a linear equation because the rate of change is constant. Question 2 If possible, write a linear equation that represents $y$ as a function of $x$ . If not possible, leave blank. $y=$
