Answer:
y = [tex]\frac{1}{2}x+8[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the table given in the picture,
Two points lying on the graph are (-4, 6) and (-2, 7)
Let the linear function is,
y = mx + b
Here, m = slope of the line
b = y-intercept
Since, slope of a line passing through two points [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex] is given by,
Slope (m) = [tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
Therefore, slope of the line passing through (-4, 6) and (-2, 7) will be,
m = [tex]\frac{7-6}{-2+4}[/tex]
m = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
y-intercept is a point for which x = 0
From the given table,
For x = 0, y = 8
Therefore, y-intercept (b) = 8
Equation of the linear function will be,
y = [tex]\frac{1}{2}x+8[/tex]
