The equation of the linear function is of:
[tex]y = 3x + 1[/tex]
------------------------
The equation of a linear function, in slope-intercept format, is of:
[tex]y = mx + b[/tex]
In which:
- m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
- b is the y-intercept, which is the value of x when y = 0.
------------------------
- The first step is finding the slope.
- We are going to choose two points (x,y) of the 4 in the table, let's say (1,4) and (3,10).
- The slope is the change in y divided by the change in x, thus:
[tex]m =\frac{10 - 4}{3 - 1} = \frac{6}{2} = 3[/tex]
Thus
[tex]y = 3x + b[/tex]
------------------------
For the intercept, (1,4) means that when x = 1, y = 4, and we use this to find b.
[tex]y = 3x + b[/tex]
[tex]4 = 3(1) + b[/tex]
[tex]b = 1[/tex]
Thus, the equation is:
[tex]y = 3x + 1[/tex]
