Writing Linear Equations from Function Tables

Slope (m) and y-intercept (b)

Maximum and minimum values

X-intercept and y-intercept

Initial value and rate of change

Change in y divided by change in x

Sum of y divided by sum of x

Product of x and y changes

Change in x divided by change in y

The maximum value of y

The value of x when y is 0

The value of y when x is 1

The value of y when x is 0

It cannot be determined

By averaging the y-values

By using any point and solving the equation for b

By setting y to 0 and solving for x

X and y increase at the same rate

Y decreases as x increases

X increases three times faster than y

Y increases three times faster than x

By using only the first and last points

By finding the average change in y and x

It's not possible to determine the slope

By calculating the slope for each change and finding the common value

As x increases, y also increases

As x increases, y remains constant

As x increases, y decreases

There is no relationship between x and y

y = 3/2x + 12

y = -3/2x - 12

y = -2/3x + 12

y = 2/3x - 12
