anonymous · Answer

can we assume that the corresponding x values are increasing by the same factor?

anonymous · Answer

idk. i dont even know how to do this:(

anonymous · Answer

x   |   y
------
1  |  5
2  |  10
3  |  15

is different than

x   |   y
------
2  |  5
20 |  10
55  |  15
100  |   20

in that case, then yes you are correct

thank you:)
