Question

Write the equation that represents the data in the table shown. Explain your answer.

Answer 1

here is the table

Answer 2

pls help i really need an answer

Answer 3

do you need to find the slop-intercept form of this table..? is that what chu meant?

Answer 4

maby but im not sure what my teacher wants me to do

Answer 5

hm ok well i can try to help :>

Answer 6

ok thak you

Answer 7

so slope-intercept form is written as y=mx+b where m is ur slope and b is ur y-intercept. sounds familiar?

Answer 8

yes kinda

Answer 9

let's find the y-intercept first. the y-intercept is the number that crosses the y-axis when x is 0. On the table it shows you it, can you find it? :0

Answer 10

when x is 0 then y is -2

Answer 11

so that is your y-intercept

Answer 12

ok

Answer 13

so the answer would be -2y * 0x

Answer 14

now to find the slope, there are 2 ways to find it but we'll do it my way cuz i get it ykyk lol ok! so you can choose any 2 pairs from the table and input it to this formula \[\frac{ y ^{2} -y ^{1}}{ x ^{2}-x ^{1}}\]

no were not quite done here yet

Answer 16

oof

Answer 17

lol

Answer 18

ok so choose 2 pairs from the table (x,y)

Answer 19

it can be any

Answer 20

x -1 and y -6 x 3 and y 10

Answer 21

so basically, the equation for a graph should usually be y=mx+b which is originally calle the y-intercept/slope,

Answer 22

i think so

Answer 23

ok cool now we can just in put that into the formula
(-1, -6) is our first set
(3,10) is our 2nd set
\[\frac{ 10- (-6) }{ 3-(-1) }\]*2 negatives = positive*
10 + 6 = 16
3 + 1 = 4
16/4 = 4
so ur slope is 4!

Answer 24

sowwy i took 4ever i was calculating tehe

Answer 25

ok thank you

Answer 26

it ok

Answer 27

so now ur final equation will look like this y=4x-2
ur welcome! :B

Answer 28

@itsmehjay you kinda gave em the answer

Answer 29

well i actually guided them to it- ;/

Answer 30

so its y=b=4x+b=2 im being specific so u understand better, hope this helps

Answer 31

woops

Answer 32

bruh-

Answer 33

its actually y=m=4x+b=2

Answer 34

ok hope this helps

Answer 35

that looks very confusing- e.e
