Question 65736
What is the linear equation that created this table:
x=-3,-2,-1,0,1, 2, 3
y= 0, 2, 4,6,8,10,12
-----------
You want y=mx+b
You need to find "m" and "b"
b is the y-intercept; it is the y-value when x=0
In your chart y=6 when x=0.
So, b=6
------------
m=change in y/change in x
when y goes from 6 to 8, x goes from 0 to 1
m=[8-6]/[1-0]=2
---------
EQUATION:
y=2x+6
