Question 514310: Take a look at the following table:
X -2,-1,0,1,2
f(x)-5,-2,1,4,7
a. Write out an equation for f(x). Assume the function is linear.
b. What is the slope? Is it negative or positive? What information do we get from the slope?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! X -2,-1,0,1,2
f(x)-5,-2,1,4,7
---
slope: Notice that when x increases by 1, y increases by 3
intercept: Notice that when x is 0, y = 1
---------------------------------------------------
a. Write out an equation for f(x). Assume the function is linear.
f(x) = 3x+1
----------------
b. What is the slope?:: 3
-----
Is it negative or positive?:: positive
-----
What information do we get from the slope?
As x increases by 1, y increases by 3
