| Question 59508:  A- How can the graph for the rule y=2x+1 be used to predict the result for an imput (x- value) of 7? How can the graph be used to predict the output (y- value) associated with an input of 3 1/2?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! you can solve this problem numerically like this, y=2x+1
 when x=7, substitute the x value=7 in the given rule.
 y=2*7+1
 =14+1
 =15
 That is when the input is 7, the output is 15.
 
 
 To predict the output when input is 31/2,
 for that, you just put the value x=31/2 in the given rule
 that is,  y = 2 * 31/2 +1
 = 31 + 1= 32
 That is when the inputis 31/2, the out put is 32

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Solution: We first plug in for different values of x, to get the corresponding values of y.
 Therefore, the table of values are:
 X	0	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8
 y	1	3	5	7	9	11	13	15	17
 Using these values, we draw the graph of the given straight line.
 The graph looks as follows:
 
   So from the above graph, when x takes the value 7, the value
 of y is 15.
 So in a similar way when x = 3 1/2, that is 7/2 then the value of y is 8. This point is obtained by plugging in the value of x in the given equation.
 
 
 Y = 2(7/2) + 1
  y = 7 + 1
  y = 8
