Fill in the missing number to complete the linear equation that gives the rule for this table

To fill in the missing number in the linear equation ( y = mx ), we need to determine the slope ( m ) based on the values in the table.

1. Identify two pairs of coordinates (x, y) from the table.
2. Calculate the slope ( m ) using the formula:

[

m = frac{y_2 – y_1}{x_2 – x_1}

]

3. Once you find the slope, you can fill in the equation.

For example, if the table shows (1, 2) and (3, 6), then:

[

m = frac{6 – 2}{3 – 1} = frac{4}{2} = 2

]

So, the equation would be ( y = 2x ).

Make sure to plug in the specific values from your table to find the correct answer! If you need more help, feel free to ask!
