Which function rule models the function over the domain specified in the table below? x f(x) –7 –11 –1 1 3 9 4 11 7 17 f(x) = 3x
+ 10 f(x) = 2x + 3 f(x) = 4x + 5 f(x) = 3x – 10

It had taken a while for me to understand the problem. From what I understood, the given pairs of points are tabulated below:
x f(x)
-7 -11
-1 1
3 9
4 11
7 17
Then, the choices are equations in terms of x. The correct equation should yield the pairs tabulated above when the x-values are substituted into the equation. So, the solution is basically just substituting x to each of those equations, then you get the corresponding y values. Check which of those question has pairs similar to the given. I suggest that you tabulate the numbers so that it would be easier for you. For me, I used MS Excel as shown in the picture. Th x-values are in the first column gathered from the given. I applied the equations to get the f(x) values. As you can see, the pairs matched with the third column. Therefore, the answer is: f(x) = 2x+3.

Notice that the given info consists of boundary lines for an area in the xy plane. We are interested ONLY in values of x and y that are 0 or greater (positive). Graph 5x + 3y 
37 and 3x + 5y less than or equal to 35.
Find the points of intersection of all four straight lines (including the x- and y-axes). There will be 4 such points (incl. the origin).
Next, evaluate the objective function 2x + 14y at each of these 4 points. Which of the four results is the largest? the smallest? Label them as 'maximum' and 'minimum.'
