Answer:
y=7x+1
Step-by-step explanation:
From the table, the difference in y is 7 and the difference in x is 1.
Let the linear equation be
Where m is the constant difference in y divided by the constant difference in x.
This means m=7/1=7
Our equation now becomes:
y=7x+b
To find b, we substitute any ordered pair from the table.
From the to table, when x=1, y=8.
This implies that,
8=7(1)+b
b=8-7=1
Therefore the equation is y=7x+1
