Question 709286
Hi I have been trying to figure this out for hours. The problem says to "Determine a relation between the x and y-values. Write an equation.". The x-values are 1,2,3,4,5 and the y-values are 2,5,8,11,14. Please help me figure this out. Your help is much appreciated! Thanks!!

The common difference is 3.
So the slope is 3.
-----
You have y-values for x = 1,2,3,4,5.
If x was 0, y would be 2-3 = -1
That is the y-intercept.

Your equation:
y = 3x-1
