Question 475721:  Please help me write the equation for the following relations.
 
R = {(x, y): (4, 5), (8, 7), (12, 9), (16, 11), . . .}
 
R = {(x, y): (2, 3), (4, 4), (6, 5), (8, 6), . . .}
 
Q = {(x, y): (2, 8), (3, 27), (4, 64), (5, 125), . . .}
 
P = {(x, y): (1, 0), (2, 4), (3, 8), (4, 12), . . .}

You can  put this solution on YOUR website! Please help me write the equation for the following relations.  
R = {(x, y): (4, 5), (8, 7), (12, 9), (16, 11), . . .} 
Notice that y increases by 2 when x increases by 4 
slope = 2/4 = 1/2 
Notice that if you decrease x by 4 y will decrease by 2 
So, y-intercept = (0,3) 
Equation: y = (1/2)x+3 
---------------------  
R = {(x, y): (2, 3), (4, 4), (6, 5), (8, 6), . . .} 
slope = 1/2 
y-int: (0,1) 
Equation: y = (1/2)x + 1 
---------------------  
Q = {(x, y): (2, 8), (3, 27), (4, 64), (5, 125), . . .} 
Not a linear relation because y does not increase consistently 
as x increases. 
Equation: y = x^3 
------------------------------  
P = {(x, y): (1, 0), (2, 4), (3, 8), (4, 12), . . .} 
slope = 4 
y-int: -4 
Equation: y = 4x-4 
----------------------
