Use the form y=mx +b for linear equations.Write the equation for the following relation. C = {(x, y): (6, 15), (8, 21), (10, 27), . . .}

I'm not sure if the answer is right, but here you go.

y=mx+b

'm' is for gradient of the line. First, calculate the gradient.

Let's use (6,15) and (8,21)

Gradient, m =
y_(2) -
y_(1)
--------------

x_(2) -
x_(1)

= 21 - 15 = 6 = 3
----------- ----
8 - 6 2

Therefore, m = 3 . Now let's search 'b' .
Let's use (6,15) again. Substitute it into the equation.

y=mx+b
15 = 3 (6) + b
b = -3

Thus, the equation : y=3x -3
