5. Which function matches the function table at the right?
A. f(x) = x+3
B.f(x) = 2x
C.f(x) = x + 2
D. f(x) = 4x - 1
Pls help

Answer 1

Option C

Explanation:

From the table give in the picture,

Let the linear function represented by the table is,

f(x) = mx + b

Here, m = Slope of the line

b = y-intercept

Slope of a line passing through two points (-2, 0) and (1, 3) will be,

m =
`(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

=
`(3-0)/(1+3)`

= 1

Equation of the function will be,

f(x) = x + b

Since, a point (1, 3) lies on he given function,

3 = 1 + b

b = 3 - 1

b = 2

Therefore, function is → f(x) = x + 2

Option C will be the correct option.
