Question

Find the equation of the linear function represented by the table below in slope-intercept form. x 0,1,2,3,4 y -4,2,8,14,20

Answer 1

y = 6x - 4

=============

To find the equation of a linear function in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, we need to determine the slope (m) and the y-intercept (b).

From the given table, we can see that the y-intercept is -4 (when x = 0) and the change in y for every change in x is 6.

Therefore, the equation of the linear function is y = 6x - 4.
