Explanation
Correct answer: D.
Choice D is correct. Each of the tables gives the same three values of : , , and . Substituting for in the given equation yields , or . Subtracting from both sides of this equation yields . Multiplying both sides of this equation by yields . Therefore, when , the corresponding value of for the given equation is . Substituting for in the given equation yields , or . Subtracting from both sides of this equation yields . Multiplying both sides of this equation by yields . Therefore, when , the corresponding value of for the given equation is . Substituting for in the given equation yields , or . Subtracting from both sides of this equation yields . Multiplying both sides of this equation by yields . Therefore, when , the corresponding value of for the given equation is . The table in choice D gives x-values of , , and and corresponding y-values of , , and , respectively. Therefore, the table in choice D gives three values of and their corresponding values of for the given equation.

I graphed the equation so that whenever you plug in the first point into the table, you can tell whether or not the answers correspond to the graph because you'd visually see the point lie on the graph. All of the wrong answer choices had a point that was clearly not on the line.
