Question

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

Answer 1

Y=1x-7

Explanation:

First use two points to find the slope. I used the first 2. The formula is (y1-y2)/(x1-x2). So (6-8)/(1-3)= -2/-2 = 1. Then you plug in a point and the slope for the equation y1-y2=m(x1-x2). I am using the first point and m is the slope which is 1. Y-6 = 1(x-1)

y-6 = 1x -1 then get y by itself

y=1x-7
