A. yes...it is a function because there is no repeating x values.
B. (5,2)(6,5)...slope = (5 - 2) / (6 - 5) = 3
y = mx + b
slope(m) = 3
(5,2)...x = 5 and y = 2
now we sub
2 = 3(5) + b
2 = 15 + b
2 - 15 = b
-13 = b
so the equation is : y = 3x - 13
when x = 7
y = 3(7) - 13....y = 21 - 13....y = 8
f(x) = 2x + 13...when x = 7
f(7) = 2(7) + 13...f(7) = 14 + 13.....f(7) = 27
the function has a greater value
C. f(x) = 2x + 13....when f(x) = 75
75 = 2x + 13
75 - 13 = 2x
62 = 2x
62/2 = x
31 = x

31 = x
Part A: In the given problem we have given values of x and values of y.
Part B: f(x) = 2x + 13 has greater value at x= 7
Part C: The value of x is 31.
One key point to observe is that for each x there is a unique y hence the given data belongs to a function but the equation of this function is not known.
Let us fit a line into the given data of x and y which can be given by the formula:
[tex]{y-y_1} = ((y_2-y_1)}/{(x_2-x_1)}) \times (x-x_1})[/tex] ....(1)
Putting the values from data in equation (1)
we get y-2= ((5-2)/(6-5)) (x-5)
(Taking first two points for instance)
y-2 = 3( x- 5) y= 3x-13 ....(2)
Part B : Another function is given in the question is
f(x) = 2x +13 ....(3)
Now, we can find out the values of equation (2) and equation (3) for x= 7.
Putting in equation (2) we can get y(7) = 21-13 = 8.
Similarly,
f(7) = 2 [tex]\times[/tex] 7 + 13 f(7) = 14 +13 = 27
so we can conclude that equation (3) has a greater value at x =7.
Part C :
Using the relation that is concluded in Part B
75 = 2x +13
75-13= 2x
62 = 2x
x = 31
Thus, the value of x is 31.
