Assuming that by "function table" you mean something like this:
x y
1 2
2 3
3 4
---
which is a list of (x,y) pairs, you would use the two-point form to write the equation for the line, like so:
y - y1 = ( (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) ) (x - x1)
---
pick any two points from your table and plug into x1,y1 and x2,y2.
note that x1 cannot equal x2. if they do, the line is vertical and the slope is undefined, in which case the equation becomes: x = x1
