Calculate y differences: First, let's look at the differences in y when x increases by 1. From x=1 to x=2, y increases by 50 (130−80). From x=2 to x=3, y increases by 50 (x2). This pattern continues for all x values in the table.
Identify linear relationship: Since the increase in y is consistent as x increases, the relationship is linear and the slope (m) is 50.
Find y-intercept: Now, let's find the y-intercept b by looking at the table.When x=1, y=80.Using the slope we found, we can write the equation as y=mx+b and plug in x=1, y=80, and m=50.80=50(1)+b
Solve for b: Solving for b, we get b=80−50.b=30
Final equation: So the equation of the line is y=50x+30.
