Algebra.Com's Answer #436483 by stanbon(75887)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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( "----- \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 \n" ); document.write( "=================== \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( " |
