Using the table of ordered pairs, which equation shows the linear relationship between the x and y values?

x|y

-2|2

1|5

3|7



A. y = x + 4

B. y = -x

C. y = x - 4

D. y = 4 - x

y = x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b (m = slope; b = y-intercept)

I used 2 points (-2 , 2) and (1 , 5) to calculate the slope of the line

m= (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

(5-2)/(1--2) = 3/3= 1

y = 1x + b

using point (1, 5)

5 = 1(1) + b

5 = 1 + b

b = 5-1

b=4

y= 1x + 4 or simply y= x + 4

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

1st step: isolate x.

24 - 3x = -27

-24         -24

-3x   =   -51

2nd step: divide.

-3x     =   -51

  3             3

  x       =     17

hope this
