Question

Identify the function rule from the values in the table.
X | Y
6 | 3
8 | 4
10 | 5
12 | 6
(i put lines in between the numbers above to seperate them)
A. y = x - 3
B. y = x +3
C. y = x + 1
D. y = x/2

ive been having a lot of truble on this question so i thought i would ask for some help-

Answer 1

i meant trouble not truble sorry

Answer 2

as x grows by 2, y grows by 1, so the slope is 1/2
so, start with y = 1/2 x
In fact, that is exactly what works here.

Answer 3

x =8 , y = 4
x = 10, y = 5
The choices are all straight lines of form y = m x + b
so
fit a line to two points
slope = m = (5-4) / (10-8) = 1/2
so form is
y = 1/2 x + b
for b
4 = (1/2)(8) + b so b = 0
y = x/2 the end
(could have seen that coming if you noticed every y is half x)

Answer 4

Thank you guys so much! i understand this way better now
