Question

Find y=mx+b equation for.
(1,100)
(2,150)
(3,250)
(4,400)
(5,600)

Answer 1

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

Not equation exists as the points o not lie on a line

Discussion:

Compute slope for first and second points:

m = (diff of y)/(diff of x) = (150-100)/(2-1) = 50/1 = 50

Slope for second and third points:

m = (250 -150)/(3-2) = 100/1 = 100

As 50 is not equal to 100 the points do not lie on a single line.
