Find the equation of the linear function represented by the table below in slope-intercept-example-1

Explanation:

the slope-intercept form is

y = ax + b

"a" being the slope, "b" being the y-intercept (the y-value when x = 0).

we see that with every increase of x by 1 y increases by 3.

so, the slope "a" is 3.

to get b we use one of the given points, e.g. (1, 5) :

5 = 3×1 + b = 3 + b

b = 2

so, our function is

y = 3x + 2
