Function A: F(x) - 5x + 2.
Function B: F(x) = mx + b.
P1(-1,2), P2(1,8).
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (8-2)/(1-(-1) = 6/2 = 3.
Y = mx + b.
2 = 3*(-1) + b
b = 5.
Function B: F(x) = 3x + 5.
The description below represents Function A and the table represents Function B:
Function A
The function is 2 more than 5 times x.
Function B
x y
-1 2
0 5
1 8
