The function that models the data in the table is f(x) = x +
Solution
To determine the function that models the data in the table, we would need to analyze the relationship between the values of and (or ) given in the ordered pairs.
However, since you haven't provided the specific table, I can explain how to generally find the values for (the slope) and (the y-intercept):
- Find the slope (m): The slope is the change in divided by the change in , which can be calculated using the formula:
- Find the y-intercept (b): Once the slope is known, you can substitute one of the ordered pairs into the equation and solve for .
To help you complete the sentence "The function that models the data in the table is ," I would need the values in the table or ordered pairs.
Could you share the ordered pairs or more details from the table?
Here are 5 questions based on this concept:
- How do you calculate the slope of a linear function from two points?
- What does the slope represent in the context of a linear function?
- How can you determine the y-intercept from a given table of values?
- Why is it important to find both the slope and the intercept when modeling data?
- How do changes in slope affect the graph of a linear function?
Tip: The slope tells you how steep the line is, while the y-intercept tells you where the line crosses the y-axis.
