Hi I have been trying to figure this out for hours. The problem says to \"Determine a relation between the x and y-values. Write an equation.\". The x-values are 1,2,3,4,5 and the y-values are 2,5,8,11,14. Please help me figure this out. Your help is much appreciated! Thanks!!

\n" ); document.write( "The common difference is 3.
\n" ); document.write( "So the slope is 3.
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "You have y-values for x = 1,2,3,4,5.
\n" ); document.write( "If x was 0, y would be 2-3 = -1
\n" ); document.write( "That is the y-intercept.
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Your equation:
\n" ); document.write( "y = 3x-1
