Answer:
y = 2x - 5
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 = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, - 9) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (13, 21) ← 2 ordered pairs from the table
m = [tex]\frac{21-(-9)}{13-(-2)}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{21+9}{13+2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{30}{15}[/tex] = 2 , then
y = 2x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute any ordered pair from the table into the partial equation
Using (3, 1 )
1 = 6 + c ⇒ c = 1 - 6 = - 5
y = 2x - 5 ← equation of linear function
