Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
find equation of the linear function in the table
y=mx+b
to find m (slope)
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
look at attachment for figuring out y2&y1, x2&x1 values
m=(17-9)/(5-1)
m=(8/4)=2
to find b use slope formula, plug in value for m and one set of coordinates
(x,y)-->(1,9)
m=2
y=mx+b
9=(2)*(1)+b (solve for b)
b=7
equation of linear function in table
y=2x=7
-------
------
A. slope is 2 which is equal to slope in table
B. slope is 3 which is greater than slope in table, 3>2
y intercept is 7.5 which is greater than y-intercept in the table, 7.5>7
C. slope is 5 which is greater than slope in table, 3>2
y intercept is 6.5 which is less than y-intercept in the table, 6.5<7
D. slope is 10 which is greater than slope in table, 10>2
y intercept is 5.5 which is less than y-intercept in the table, 5.5<7
