Answer:

We are given the table of a linear function

Since we have to find the equation of the function in the slope-intercept form,

we require the slope as well as the y-intercept

Finding the slope:

We know that slope of a line is Rise / Run

Since from the graph, we notice that the difference of 2 consecutive x-coordinates is 1

Hence, we have the x-coordinates at an interval of 1 and since the slope of a line is defined as the units ascended by the line after covering 1 unit in the x-coordinate

change in y = y $_{n}$ - y $_{n-1}$ (where n is the number of row in the table)

change in y = 31 - 23

change in y = 8 = Rise

Run = 1 (Since the interval in the table is 1)

Slope = Rise / Run

Slope = 8 / 1

Slope = 8

Finding the y-intercept:

We need the y-coordinate at x = 0

Going up from the third row, we notice that for every unit decreased in the x-coordinate , 8 units of the y-coordinate are decreased (since the slope =8)

In that case, the y-coordinate of every decreased x-coordinate will be 8 less than the last one

so we can say that the y-coordinate of x = 1 will be 8 less than 23 since x=1 is one less than x = 2

similarly, we can also say that the y-coordinate of x = 0 will be 8 less than (23-8) since x = 0 is one less than x = 1

Therefore, the y-coordinate at x =0

y = (23-8-8)

y-intercept = 7

Making the Equation:

We need to write the equation in the form:

y = ax + b (where a is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept)

Replacing the known values, we get

y = 8x + 7

Therefore, the equation of the formula shown in the table is y = 8x + 7
