Write the linear equation that gives the rule for this table.

x y
–49 –39
–25 –15
67 77
85 95


Write your answer as an equation with y first, followed by an equals sign.


Sagot :

to get the equation of any straight line all we need is two points, well, let's just grab them from the table.

hmmm let's use (-49 , -39) and hmmm say (67 , 77)

[tex](\stackrel{x_1}{-49}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-39})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{67}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{77}) \\\\\\ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{77}-\stackrel{y1}{(-39)}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{67}-\underset{x_1}{(-49)}}}\implies \cfrac{77+39}{67+49}\implies \cfrac{116}{116}\implies 1[/tex]

[tex]\begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{(-39)}=\stackrel{m}{1}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{(-49)}) \\\\\\ y+39=1(x+49)\implies y+39=x+49\implies y=x+10[/tex]
