Question

How do you represent a table with linear functions

Answer 1

A table can be represented with a linear function equation as y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

How to Represent a Table with Linear Function?

Assuming we have a table of values as shown in the image attached below, to write an equation of linear function for the table, do the following:

Pick two pairs of values, say, (1, 5) and (2, 25) and find the slope (m):

Slope (m) = change in y / change in x = (25 - 5)/(2 - 1)

Slope (m) = 20

Find the y-intercept (b) by substituting (x, y) = (1, 5) and m = 20 into y = mx + b:

5 = 20(1) + b

5 = 20 + b

5 - 20 = b

-15 = b

b = -15

Write the equation of the linear function by substituting m = 20 and b = -15 into y = mx + b:

y = 20x - 15
