The table represents a linear function. find the values of a and b.

The answers are that a = -5 and b = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find A and B, we first need to find the equation of the line. We can do this by using two ordered pairs and the slope formula. For the purpose of this activity, I'l use (0, 5) and (-3, 11)

m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (11 - 5)/(-3 - 0)

m = 6/-3

m = -2

Now that we have this we can model this using point-slope form.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = -2(x - 0)

y - 5 = -2x

y = -2x + 5

Now that we have the modeled equation we can use the ordered pair (a, 15) to solve for a.

y = -2x + 5

15 = -2(a) + 5

10 = -2a

-5 = a

And we can also solve for b using the ordered pair (2, b)

y = -2x + 5

b = -2(2) + 5

b = -4 + 5

b = 1

if y=4x then you will substitute 4x in for y in the second equation.

8x + 4x = 18 combine like terms

12x = 18 divide by 12 on both sides

x = 18/12 or 3/2

now replace x in the first equation with 3/2 to get

y = 4 3/2

y = 6

the answer is a

(3/2,6)
