So we have a table of values that associate x values with a function f(x). The pairs (x,y) are solutions to the equation y=f(x) and they are:
[tex]\begin{gathered} (-3,5) \\ (-1,-4) \\ (0,2) \\ (5,-8) \\ (6,3) \end{gathered}[/tex]
If we define a new function g(x)=(1/2)*f(x) its solutions will be those of f(x) but with their y values divided by 2. Then the solutions to g(x) are:
[tex]\begin{gathered} (-3,\frac{5}{2})=(-3,2.5) \\ (-1,-\frac{4}{2})=(-1,-2) \\ (0,\frac{2}{2})=(0,1) \\ (5,-\frac{8}{2})=(5,-4) \\ (6,\frac{3}{2})=(6,1.5) \end{gathered}[/tex]
Then the only option with a solution to g(x) is the second option (-1,-2).
