3 108.8
4 435.2

linear
quadratic

none of the above

Answer 2

' Use differences or ratios.'
did you try ratios ?

Answer 3

6.8/1.7 =.... ?
27.2/6.8=... ?
...
435.2/108.8=...?

Answer 4

yes i did just couldnt get the right answer

Answer 5

what ratio are you getting ?

Answer 6

6.8/1.7 =.. ?

Answer 7

13.6 : 3.4

Answer 8

whats that ?
6.8/1.7 =4
you'll get 4 for every y value/ x value
so, you can write the equation as y/ (x-1) = 4
or
y=4(x-1)
is this linear or quadratic or exponential ?
