Question

Find the equation of the linear function represented by the table below in slope-intercept form.

Answer 1

y = 8x - 6

Explanation:

The slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

We know that the y-intercept occurs when x = 0 so from the table, it's b = -6

We can use the slope formula to find the slope:

`(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )\\ (2-(-6))/(1-0) \\(2+6)/(1-0) \\8=m`
