What is the rule for this table? x y 9 2 12 333 1042 13 y= ------- x-

Sagot :

We get the two points (9,2) and (12,3) from the table.

Consider the equation

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

Substitute x=9 and y=2, we get

[tex]2=m(9)+b[/tex][tex]b=2-9m[/tex]

Substitute x=12 and y=3 in the equation, we get

[tex]3=m(12)+b[/tex]

Substitute b=2-9m to find the value of m.

[tex]3=12m+2-9m[/tex]

[tex]3-2=3m[/tex][tex]m=\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Substitute m=1/3 in b=2-9m to find the value of b.

[tex]b=2-9(\frac{1}{3})[/tex]

[tex]b=-1[/tex]

Substitute m=1/3 and b=-1 in the equation, we get

[tex]y=\frac{1}{3}x-1[/tex]

Verification:

consider the third point (33,10).

Substitute x=33 and b=10 in the equation, we get

[tex]10=\frac{1}{3}\times33-1[/tex]

[tex]10=11-1[/tex]

[tex]10=10[/tex]

It is verified.

Hence the required equation is

[tex]y=\frac{1}{3}x-1[/tex]
