Question 593787: I have an algebra question. On my worksheet, it says "Determine a relationship between the x- and y-values. Write an equation." I know how to do that, but for the second problem, the ordered pairs are (2,3), (3,5), (4,7), and (5,9). I put them in a table and it looks like the relationship is a sequence, because as you go up, you add 1 to 2 to make 3, and then you add 2 to 3 to make 5, and so on. How would you write this as an equation? (i.e. y=x+3)
This is what the problem looks like:
x 2 3 4 5
y 3 5 7 9
