The values in the table represent a linear function. x 1 2 3 4
f(x) 1 5 9 13

What is the function rule?

Write the rule in function notation, using the slope-intercept form of a line.

Enter your answer in the box.

f(x) = 4x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m =

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (1, 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 5) ← 2 ordered pairs from the table

m = = 4 , thus

y = 4x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute any ordered pair from the table into the partial equation

Using (2, 5) , then

5 = 8 + c ⇒ c = 5 - 8 = - 3

Thus

f(x) = 4x + 3 ← is the function rule

pay attention in your classes and concentrate the best thing you can do to raise your test scores is to pay attention when you're supposed to be learning the material: in class!

take good notes.

do your homework.

use mnemonics and other tricks.

do practice tests.

note: the best i know.

1/3

step-by-step explanation:

to find this, you can divide 12 by 4 which is 3 or you can multiply 4 until you reach 12 (4x3=12). both should give you 3, meaning theres three times less bananas than there are oranges.
