Question

Find the missing values of (x) and (y).

A) (x = 3, y = 8)
B) (x = 4, y = 7)
C) (x = 5, y = 6)
D) (x = 6, y = 5)

Answer 1

To determine the correct values of x and y using the equation y = 9 + 3x, we substitute each value of x into the equation and calculate the corresponding value of y. The results of these substitutions can then be plotted on a graph to represent the linear relationship between x and y.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the missing values of (x) and (y), we need to have a relationship or an equation that connects them. For example, if we have an equation such as y = 9 + 3x, we can substitute the given values of x into the equation to find the corresponding values of y.

• For option A, substitute x = 3 into the equation: y = 9 + 3(3) = 9 + 9 = 18.
• For option B, substitute x = 4 into the equation: y = 9 + 3(4) = 9 + 12 = 21.
• For option C, substitute x = 5 into the equation: y = 9 + 3(5) = 9 + 15 = 24.
• For option D, substitute x = 6 into the equation: y = 9 + 3(6) = 9 + 18 = 27.

This table would be represented in tabular form as shown in Table A1 which correlates with the given equation. To visually see the linear relationship between x and y. Linear equations usually have the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
