First, we need to find the slope (m) of the linear function.
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
m = (103 - 58) / (20 - 11)
m = 45 / 9
m = 5
Now, we need to find the y-intercept (b) by plugging in a point into the following equation:
y = mx + b
58 = 5(11) + b
58 = 55 + b
b = 3
Therefore, the linear function in y=mx+b form is:
y = 5x + 3
Write the equation of the linear function that models the relationship shown in the table. Enter your answer in y=mx+b form.
