Question

A table contains the ordered pairs (3, 42.25) and (5, 50.75). If the relationship in the table is linear, explain how to find the initial value.

Answer 1

The linear relationship (the linear equation):
y = m x + b (the slope-intercept form)
m = (50.75 - 42.25) / (5 - 3) = 8.50 / 2 = 4.25 (the slope)
42.25 = 4.25 * 3 + b
b = 42.25 - 12.75
b = 29.50
y = 4.25 * x + 29.50
initial value=
Hope this helps:)
