Question

2. Write the equation of g(x) given the table below. X -2 --1 1 g(x) 3 6 12

Answer 1

let us first calculate the slope:

`m=(6-3)/(-1--2)=(3)/(1)=3`

having the slope, we can use the slope-point equation and we get that

`\begin{gathered} y-12=3(x-1)=3x-3 \\ y=3x-3+12=3x+9 \end{gathered}`

so g(x)=3x+9
