Question

1.
Write a function rule for the table.

Answer 1

Explanation:

If you plot these points on a graph, you would see that this is definitely a line. Let's find the slope of the line first:

`m=(2-1)/(6-5)=1` (I used the last 2 coordinates on the table because I don't like negatives; and since the slope is the same for the whole entire line, it doesn't matter which points you pick to go into your slope formula)

And then use that slope and any other point in the table to write the equation. I am going to use (4, 0), since I like the 0 (less work!)

In point-slope form:

y - 0 = 1(x - 4) and

y = x - 4

That's the function rule (aka equation) for the table.
