For the table to the right, represent the relationship using words, an equation, and a graph. Then determine whether the relationship is a linear function.

x y
0 -1
1 2
2 5
3 8

Represent the relationship using words. Choose the correct answer below.

A. The value of y is ten more than the cube of the quantity eight times the value of x. B. The value of y is the cube of the quantity eight plus the value of x. C. The value of y is one less than the quantity three times the value of x. D. The value of y is ten more than the quantity nine times the value of x. OE. The value of y is three times the value of x. OF. The value of y is the square of the quantity eight minus the value of x.

C. The value of y is one less than the quantity three times the value of x.

Represent the relationship using an equation. y = y = 3x - 1 Simplify your answer. Type an expression using x as the variable.)

Is the relationship a linear function?
O No
O yes

1 answer

The relationship can be represented using the equation y = 3x - 1.

The relationship is a linear function because it can be represented by a straight line on a graph.
