What is an equation for f(x)?
Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the slope is 3/4 for any two adjacent points.
Then use point slope formula y-y1=m(x-x1) where m slope and (x1, y1) point
y-1=(3/4)(x-11)
y=(3/4)x-(29/4), distributing and moving the 1 over.
