Question

What equation relates the x values to the y values in the

function shown?
{(0,4), (2,5), (4, 6), (6,7)}

Answer 1

Answer: y =
`(1)/(2)`x + 4

Explanation:

First, let us graph the points to see patterns. See attached.

This function is linear, so we can write an equation in slope-intercept form. m is the slope and b is the intercept.

We can find the slope with rise over run. Starting at point (0, 4) and counting up one and over 2 to (2, 5).

y = mx + b

y =
`(1)/(2)`x + 4
