Question

Which equation is represented by the table

Answer 1

Answer:

B. b = 3a + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write the equation in slope-intercept form as b = ma + c, where,

m = slope/rate of change

c = y-intercept/initial value

✔️Find m using any two given pair of values, say (2, 8) and (4, 14):

Rate of change (m) = change in b/change in a

m = (14 - 8)/(4 - 2)

m = 6/2

m = 3

✔️Find c by substituting (a, b) = (2, 8) and m = 3 into b = ma + c. Thus:

8 = 3(2) + c

8 = 6 + c

8 - 6 = c

2 = c

c = 2

✔️Write the equation by substituting m = 3 and c = 2 into b = ma + c. Thus:

b = 3a + 2
