Fill in the missing numbers to complete the linear equation that gives the rule for this table.
y = ____x – ____
To fill in the missing numbers in the linear equation ( y = mx + b ), we need to identify the slope (( m )) and the y-intercept (( b )) from the data in the table.
1. Determine the Slope (( m )): The slope represents how much ( y ) changes for each unit increase in ( x ). Calculate it by finding the difference in ( y ) values divided by the difference in ( x ) values between two points in the table.
2. Determine the Y-Intercept (( b )): The y-intercept is the ( y ) value when ( x = 0 ). If this isn’t directly available from the table, you can use one of the points to solve for ( b ) once you have ( m ).
For example, if from the table you found the slope to be 2 and the y-intercept to be 3, the complete equation would be:
[ y = 2x – 3 ]
Make sure you calculate these values based on the data from your table! If you have specific numbers from the table, I can help you compute ( m ) and ( b ) directly. Check the extended services page for more in-depth assistance if needed!
