Answer 1

Answer: Choice B

y = x+9 because the y-intercept of the function represented by the table is 5.

============================================================

Explanation:

Let's focus on the first two rows of the table. Plug those coordinates into the slope formula below.

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (13-9)/(4-2)

m = 4/2

m = 2

The slope is 2.

Then we'll use something like (x,y) = (2,9) along with the slope we found to determine the y intercept b

y = mx+b

y = 2x+b

9 = 2*2+b

9 = 4+b

9-4 = b

5 = b

b = 5

The equation for the table is y = 2x+5

We can check this by seeing that x = 6 leads to y = 2*x+5 = 2*6+5 = 17. I'll let you check the other x values of the table.

Because y = 2x+5 has a y intercept of 5, we're going to aim for answer choice B. The y intercept of y = x+9 is 9 which is larger than what we just found.
