Question

What will be the linear equation for the shown table?​

Answer 1

Answer:

y=2x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find a linear equation you must find the slope and y intercept to create an equation in y=mx+b form (slope-intercept form)

So slope is = y2-y1 / x2-x1 [2 and 1 are subscripts] so 11-7/3-1 so m=4/2 = 2

Slope = 2, now find b

So using y = mx + b, substitute what you know so 7 = 2(1) + b so b=7-2 = 5

Put it all together y = 2x + 5
