Question

Can someone pls help me with this problem?

Answer 1

1. For the first blank, since the output increases by 5 for each increase of 1 for the input, the answer is 13+2(5) = 23.
2. For the second blank, since the output increased by 10 compared to 23, the input increased by 2. So, the answer is 5 + 2 = 7.
3. We know the output is of the form 5x+b for some constant b. If we test input of 1 and an output of 3, we get an input of 1 gives 5+b, which is equal to 3, meaning b=-2. So, the answer is 5x-2.
