I'm stuck. Did i solve this correctly?

OpenStudy (ohmybookness):

Any help is appreciated!! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

u should note that a linear function is generated only when the values of x and y are constant

OpenStudy (ohmybookness):

wouldn't that be Table #3?

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

yes it would be

OpenStudy (ohmybookness):

I left the second column unfinished. it looks like y-2=1.5(x-2) y=1.5x- ....

OpenStudy (ohmybookness):

I blanked out. I forgot how to solve the rest

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

first rewrite 1.5=3/2

OpenStudy (ohmybookness):

would it be y=1.5x-1?

OpenStudy (ohmybookness):

oh ok

OpenStudy (ohmybookness):

on the second column?

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

equation can be given as \ y-y1=m(x-x1) y-2=3/2(x-2) now try to solve it

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

u may start with multiplying the whole equation by 2

OpenStudy (ohmybookness):

see this is where I got confused.

OpenStudy (ohmybookness):

y=3/2x+4?

OpenStudy (freckles):

how did you get that @ohmybookness from what @mathmath333 has above?

OpenStudy (freckles):

I would use distributive property where he has 3/2(x-2) and then add 2 on both sides

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

y-2=3/2(x-2) 2y-2*2=2*3/2(x-2) 2y-4=3(x-2) can u simplify now

OpenStudy (ohmybookness):

y=3/2x-1
