Question

Find the equation of the linear function represented by the table below in

slope-intercept
form.

Answer 1

y = x + 5

Explanation:

You can see that x is increasing at exactly the same rate as y. That rate is 1. This gives the graph a slope of 1. Now we can determine by subtracting 1 from y when x = 1 that the y intercept is 5. Slope intercept is y = mx+b. The y intercept is b which is five and the slope is m which is one.
