Question

Find the equation of the linear function represented by the table below in slope-intercept form. x y 1 2 2 7 3 12 4 17

Answer 1

Explanation:

(1, 2) (2, 7)

(7-2)/(2 - 1) = 5/1= 5

y - 2 = 5(x - 1)

y - 2 = 5x - 5

y = 5x - 3

Answer 2

Explanation:

(1, 2) (2, 7)

(7-2)/(2 - 1) = 5/1= 5

y - 2 = 5(x - 1)

y - 2 = 5x - 5

y = 5x - 3
