To determine the system of linear equations represented by the given table of values, we need to identify the equations for \( y_a \) and \( y_b \) based on the \( x \) values provided.

For \( y_a \):

Using the points (0, 3), (1, 5), and (2, 7), we can determine the slope \( m \) and the y-intercept \( b \).

  1. Calculate the slope \( m \):

    • From (0, 3) to (1, 5): \[ m = \frac{5 - 3}{1 - 0} = \frac{2}{1} = 2 \]

    • From (1, 5) to (2, 7): \[ m = \frac{7 - 5}{2 - 1} = \frac{2}{1} = 2 \]

    Since the slope is consistent, we can use the point-slope form: \[ y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) \]

    Using point (0, 3): \[ y - 3 = 2(x - 0) \implies y = 2x + 3 \]

For \( y_b \):

Using the points (0, -2), (1, 1), and (2, 4), we will also determine the slope \( m \) and y-intercept \( b \).

  1. Calculate the slope \( m \):

    • From (0, -2) to (1, 1): \[ m = \frac{1 - (-2)}{1 - 0} = \frac{3}{1} = 3 \]

    • From (1, 1) to (2, 4): \[ m = \frac{4 - 1}{2 - 1} = \frac{3}{1} = 3 \]

  2. Using the point-slope form again: Using point (0, -2): \[ y - (-2) = 3(x - 0) \implies y = 3x - 2 \]

Thus, the two equations derived from the table are:

  1. \( y = 2x + 3 \) (for \( y_a \))
  2. \( y = 3x - 2 \) (for \( y_b \))

Now, let's match this with the response options provided:

  • {y=3x+2 y=-2x+3}
  • {y=-2x+3 y=-3x-2}
  • {y=2x+3 y=3x-2}
  • {y=2x-2 y=3x+3}

The correct system of equations that matches our results is:

{y=2x+3 y=3x-2}.
