Question

The table represents a linear function that shows the number of stamps y that a student collects after x months. Complete the table.

Answer 1

24

Explanation:

a linear function has the form: y = ax + b

According to the table: b = 5 and a = (43 − 5)/(2 − 0) = 38/2 = 19

Then our function is of the form: y = 19x + 5

Now ,we replace x by 1 in the function to get the missing value :

Missing value = 19(1) + 5 = 19 + 5 = 24.
