1 answer
To represent the relationship using words, we need to look at how the value of y changes with respect to x.
From the given table:
- When x = 0, y = 5
- When x = 1, y = 7
- When x = 2, y = 9
- When x = 3, y = 11
We can observe that as x increases by 1, y increases by 2. Therefore, the relationship between x and y is that y is 2 times x plus a constant value.
The correct statement that represents this relationship is:
A. The value of y is five more than the quantity two times the value of x.
This reflects the pattern seen in the table, where y = 2 * x + 5.
Part 2:
To represent the relationship using an equation, we use the pattern identified in Part 1. Since y is always 5 more than 2 times x, the equation is:
y = 2x + 5
Graph:
To graph the relationship, plot the given points (0,5), (1,7), (2,9), and (3,11) on a coordinate plane, and then draw a straight line through these points since they are collinear. This line is the graphical representation of the equation y = 2x + 5.
In conclusion, the relationship is indeed a linear function because the equation is of the form y = mx + b, where m and b are constants. In this case, m (the slope) is 2, and b (the y-intercept) is 5. This linear function describes a straight line when graphed on a coordinate plane.
