ASAP please

If you take any pair point in table 3 you'll see that for every 2 units in x, y is increasing by 5 units The linear function is defined by (y-y1) = m(x-x1) where (x1, y1) match with any random pair in table and m is the slope defined by:\[m=\frac{ y2-y1 }{ x2-x1 }\] where (x1, y1) is any point at the left and (x2, y2) is any point at the right

ok so Table 3 is Linear... what is the equation of the linear function represented by that table? @ruizgeorge

OpenStudy (anonymous):

solving m for two random point in table Let's take (x1, y1) = (2,1) and (x2, y2) = (4,6) \[m = \frac{ 6-1 }{ 4-2 } = \frac{ 5 }{ 2 }\] Now take (x1, y1) to the equation with m \[y-1 = \frac{ 5 }{ 2 } (x-2)\] Solve for y !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6- 1 = 5/2 (4-2) @ruizgeorge am i right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nope Just let y as y and x as x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

..... my so is the 4 actually 6? and 6 actully 4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4-1 = 5/2 (6-2) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[y = \frac{ 5 }{ 2 } x - \frac{ 5 }{ 2 } (2) + 1\] solve and simplify

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i really dont know.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's done \[y-y1 = m(x-x1)\] leads to the equation \[y-1=\frac{ 5 }{ 2 } (x-2)\] and solving for y: \[y = \frac{ 5 }{ 2 }x - 4\] (This is the linear equation for data in table #3) and that's all!

Oh wow.... thanks!
