Determine the pattern rule (Molao) from the input-output pairs: (1, 7), (2, 5), (3, 6). Assume a linear rule y = mx + c.

Here's how to solve the problem: First, we need to determine the pattern rule (Molao) from the given input and output pairs. The diagram shows the following input-output relationships: Input 1 gives Output 7 Input 2 gives Output 5 Input 3 gives Output 6 Let's analyze these pairs to find a consistent rule. If we consider a linear rule of the form y = mx + c: Using (1, 7) and (2, 5): 1) m(1) + c = 7 m + c = 7 2) $m(2) + c = 5 2m + c =
