SOLUTION: How do you figure out the equation of a line modeled by the table like: x y 0 -5 1 -1 2 3 3 7

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Use the two-point form of a line.
First, choose two of the specified points. Let's pick the first two (0,-5) and (1,-1).

Then get the two-point form:

,

And plug in the numbers from the coordinate values in the points chosen.



Do the arithmetic:




Then, just to be neat, put your equation into either standard form or slope-intercept form



Use one of the other points in your table to check your work.
, yep!
