Answer:

y = 3x -1

Explanation:

You want the linear equation describing the table with values (x, y) = (-1, -4) and (3, 8).

Slope

The slope of the line is ...

m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1) = (8 -(-4))/(3 -(-1)) = 12/4 = 3

Y-intercept

The y-intercept of the line is ...

b = y -mx

b = -4 -3(-1) = -1

Equation

The slope-intercept equation is ...

y = mx +b

y = 3x -1 . . . . . function shown in the table
