Answer:
[tex]y = 3x - 2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Required
The equation of the above linear function
From the table, we have:
[tex](x_1,y_1) = (1,1)[/tex]
[tex](x_2,y_2) = (2,4)[/tex]
Calculate slope (m)
[tex]m = \frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 -x_1}[/tex]
[tex]m = \frac{4 -1}{2 -1}[/tex]
[tex]m = \frac{3}{1}[/tex]
[tex]m =3[/tex]
The equation is:
[tex]y = m(x - x_1) + y_1[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]y = 3(x - 1) + 1[/tex]
[tex]y = 3x - 3 + 1[/tex]
[tex]y = 3x - 2[/tex]
