Writing Equations for Lines from Data in a Table

What is the main goal of the lesson introduced in the first section?

• To learn how to calculate the distance traveled over time

• To understand the relationship between business and advertising

• To write the equation of a line by finding a pattern in a table

• To memorize different types of data relationships

Which form of linear equation is reviewed in the second section?

• y = ax^2 + bx + c

• y = mx + b

• y = x^2 + 2x + 1

• y = a/x + b

What is a common misunderstanding when analyzing x-y pairs?

• Focusing on the relationship between x and y

• Ignoring the slope of the line

• Only looking at individual x-y pairs

• Calculating the y-intercept incorrectly

How is the slope determined from a table of values?

• By finding the difference in y values for each unit increase in x

• By subtracting the smallest x value from the largest

• By adding all x values together

• By calculating the average of all y values

What is the final equation of the line derived in the last section?

• y = 3x + 2

• y = 2x - 3

• y = x + 5

• y = 5x - 7
