Question

Complete the table, given that g is a linear function.

Answer 1

A linear function is given by g(x) = mx + b, where m and b are constants

Answer 2

okay

Answer 3

but how do I complete the table?

Answer 4

plug in values in that equation to find m and b

Answer 5

Can you give me an example of how i would plug in any values?

Answer 6

x = 2, g(x) =1

g(x) = mx + b,

1 = 2m + b

Do the same for the second set of values.

Answer 7

okay but what do i do once i have 1=2m+b?

Answer 8

you will get another equation, with the second set

solve for m and b

use values of m and b to get the answer
