Therule for the table of values is y = 2x + 2

The completed table of values is

x -8 -3 -1 0 1 2 3

y -14 -4 0 2 4 6 8

How to find a rule for the table of values

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

The table of values

Where we have

x -1 0 1 2 3

y 0 2 8

By detecting the pattern, we have

x -1 0 1 2 3

y 0 2 4 6 8

This means that

As x increases by 1, the value of y increases by 2

So, the pattern is

y = 2x + 2

Completing the misisng values, we have

y(-3) = 2(-3) + 2 = -4

y(-8) = 2(-8) + 2 = -14
