Question

Can anybody help me solve this math problem?

Answer 1

Explanation:

It appears from our choices that this is a linear function, a line in the form

y = mx + b

We need to first find the slope. The 3 coordinates are (4, 66), (5, 77), (6, 88).

Using the slope formula twice to make sure this is in fact linear:

and between the next set of coordinates:

Since the slopes are the same, this is in fact linear. Using that slope along with 1 of the points in the point-slope formula for a line:

y - 66 = 11(x - 4) and

y - 66 = 11x - 44 and

y = 11x + 22, choice C.

y = 11x + 22
