Sagot :

To solve this problem, let's first determine the equations that fit the tables of values provided.

### For the first table:
[tex]\[ \begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline x & y \\ \hline 0 & 2 \\ \hline -4 & 0 \\ \hline 6 & 5 \\ \hline -6 & -1 \\ \hline \end{array} \][/tex]

Using these points, we can find the best-fit line [tex]\(y = mx + b\)[/tex], where [tex]\(m\)[/tex] is the slope and [tex]\(b\)[/tex] is the intercept.

Slope [tex]\(m\)[/tex] is calculated using the formula:
[tex]\[ m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \][/tex]
Using two points (0, 2) and (-4, 0):
[tex]\[ m = \frac{0 - 2}{-4 - 0} = \frac{-2}{-4} = \frac{1}{2} \][/tex]

Intercept [tex]\(b\)[/tex]:

Using the slope and one of the points, say (0, 2):
[tex]\[ y = mx + b \implies 2 = \frac{1}{2}(0) + b \implies b = 2 \][/tex]

Thus, the equation is:
[tex]\[ y = \frac{1}{2}x + 2 \][/tex]

### For the second table:
[tex]\[ \begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline x & y \\ \hline 0 & 1 \\ \hline -2 & 0 \\ \hline -4 & -1 \\ \hline 2 & 2 \\ \hline \end{array} \][/tex]

Using these points, we can find the best-fit line [tex]\(y = mx + b\)[/tex].

Slope [tex]\(m\)[/tex] is calculated:
Using points (0, 1) and (-2, 0):
[tex]\[ m = \frac{0 - 1}{-2 - 0} = \frac{-1}{-2} = \frac{1}{2} \][/tex]

Intercept [tex]\(b\)[/tex]:

Using the slope and one of the points, say (0, 1):
[tex]\[ y = mx + b \implies 1 = \frac{1}{2}(0) + b \implies b = 1 \][/tex]

Thus, the equation is:
[tex]\[ y = \frac{1}{2}x + 1 \][/tex]

### Summary of linear equations:

1. [tex]\(y = \frac{1}{2}x + 2\)[/tex]
2. [tex]\(y = \frac{1}{2}x + 1\)[/tex]

Comparing these equations with the options:

A. [tex]\(y = -\frac{1}{2}x - 2\)[/tex] and [tex]\(y = -\frac{1}{2}x + 1\)[/tex]

B. [tex]\(y = -x - 2\)[/tex] and [tex]\(y = -x + 1\)[/tex]

C. [tex]\(y = \frac{1}{2}x + 2\)[/tex] and [tex]\(y = \frac{1}{2}x + 1\)[/tex]

D. [tex]\(y = x + 2\)[/tex] and [tex]\(y = x + 1\)[/tex]

Clearly, the equations match Option C:
[tex]\[ y = \frac{1}{2}x + 2 \quad \text{and} \quad y = \frac{1}{2}x + 1 \][/tex]

Therefore, the correct answer is C.
