Question

Write a linear (y=mx+b), quadratic (y=ax2), or exponential (y=a(b)x) function that models the data. Y=?

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 8x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

find the common difference (+ or -) / ratio (x or ÷)

34 - 26 = 8

42 - 34 = 8

50 - 42 = 8

58 - 50 = 8

the common difference is 8

y = 8x + b

plug in an (x, y) value to find b

(7, 500

50 = 8(7) + b

50 = 56 + b

b = -6

y = 8x - 6
