Question

which equation represents the relationship between x and y? x: 1,2,3,4,5 Y: 3,4,5,6,7 Choices y=2x, x=y+2, y=x+2, x=2y

Answer 1

Answer:

  (c)  y=x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the relation between x and y, given some ordered pairs ...

 (x, y) = (1, 3), (2, 4), (3, 5)

Relationship

Sometimes the easiest way to select the correct answer is to try the answers to see if they describe the relationship you see.

Using x = 1 and y = 3, here are the results:

• y = 2x   ⇒   3 = 2·1 . . . . no
• x = y +2   ⇒   1 = 3 +2 . . . . no
• y = x +2   ⇒   3 = 1 +2 . . . . yes
• x = 2y   ⇒   1 = 2·3 . . . . no

The only answer choice that makes any sense is

   y = x +2
