Question

Which of the following equations correctly shows the relationship between the values of x and the values of y?

Answer 1

Every time the x goes up 1 the y goes up by 3

Answer 2

Answer~ A. y=3x-4

Explanation~ Look at the X column. Start with the first row, which is 5 in the x column and 11 in the y column. Looking back at the equation. As you can see, it has the same variables that are in the table. Replace the x with the 5 from the table.

*Remember to put the 5 in parenthesis; you must always do this when plugging in numbers into your equations*

If done correctly, your equation should now look like this:

y=3(5)-4

Following PEMDAS, the order you solve order of operations, you must first multiply, as Multiplication is before Subtraction. So, you must multiply the 5 and 3. 5×3=15, so, now your equation should look like:

y=15-4

Simply subtract 4 from 15, and you should get 11. Therefore,

y=11

Continue this process down through the table to double check your work.

I hope I helped! Sorry for the dang essay lol
