Let's solve each table step by step to find the linear equation in the form:
$$
y = mx + b
$$
Where:
- $ m $ is the slope
- $ b $ is the y-intercept
We'll use the given $ x $ and $ y $ values to find the pattern.

Table 1
| x | y |
|---|---|
| 3 | 18 |
| 4 | 24 |
| 5 | 30 |
Step 1: Find the slope (m)
Use two points: (3, 18) and (4, 24)
$$
m = \frac{24 - 18}{4 - 3} = \frac{6}{1} = 6
$$
Step 2: Use point-slope form or plug into $ y = mx + b $
Use (3, 18):
$$
18 = 6(3) + b \Rightarrow 18 = 18 + b \Rightarrow b = 0
$$
✔ Equation: $ y = 6x $

Table 2
| x | y |
|---|---|
| 7 | 11 |
| 8 | 12 |
| 9 | 13 |
Slope:
$$
m = \frac{12 - 11}{8 - 7} = \frac{1}{1} = 1
$$
Use (7, 11):
$$
11 = 1(7) + b \Rightarrow 11 = 7 + b \Rightarrow b = 4
$$
✔ Equation: $ y = x + 4 $
---
Table 3
| x | y |
|---|---|
| 5 | 12 |
| 6 | 15 |
| 7 | 18 |
| 11 | 30 |
Slope:
$$
m = \frac{15 - 12}{6 - 5} = \frac{3}{1} = 3
$$
Use (5, 12):
$$
12 = 3(5) + b \Rightarrow 12 = 15 + b \Rightarrow b = -3
$$
✔ Equation: $ y = 3x - 3 $
Check with (11, 30):
$ y = 3(11) - 3 = 33 - 3 = 30 $
✔

Table 4
| x | y |
|---|---|
| 1 | 5 |
| 2 | 9 |
| 3 | 13 |
Slope:
$$
m = \frac{9 - 5}{2 - 1} = \frac{4}{1} = 4
$$
Use (1, 5):
$$
5 = 4(1) + b \Rightarrow 5 = 4 + b \Rightarrow b = 1
$$
✔ Equation: $ y = 4x + 1 $
---
Table 5
| x | y |
|---|---|
| 4 | 16 |
| 5 | 20 |
| 7 | ? |
Slope:
$$
m = \frac{20 - 16}{5 - 4} = \frac{4}{1} = 4
$$
Use (4, 16):
$$
16 = 4(4) + b \Rightarrow 16 = 16 + b \Rightarrow b = 0
$$
✔ Equation: $ y = 4x $
Now fill in missing value for $ x = 7 $:
$$
y = 4(7) = 28
$$
✔ Missing value: 28

Table 6
| x | y |
|---|---|
| 2 | 11 |
| 4 | 13 |
| 6 | ? |
| 7 | 17 |
Slope:
$$
m = \frac{13 - 11}{4 - 2} = \frac{2}{2} = 1
$$
Use (2, 11):
$$
11 = 1(2) + b \Rightarrow 11 = 2 + b \Rightarrow b = 9
$$
✔ Equation: $ y = x + 9 $
Now find missing value at $ x = 6 $:
$$
y = 6 + 9 = 15
$$
✔ Missing value: 15

Table 7
| x | y |
|---|---|
| 5 | 45 |
| 6 | ? |
| 7 | 63 |
| 73 | ? |
Slope:
Use (5, 45) and (7, 63):
$$
m = \frac{63 - 45}{7 - 5} = \frac{18}{2} = 9
$$
Use (5, 45):
$$
45 = 9(5) + b \Rightarrow 45 = 45 + b \Rightarrow b = 0
$$
✔ Equation: $ y = 9x $
Now fill in missing values:
- $ x = 6 $: $ y = 9(6) = 54 $
- $ x = 73 $: $ y = 9(73) = 657 $
✔ Missing values: 54 and 657

Table 8
| x | y |
|---|---|
| 3 | 18 |
| 5 | 20 |
| 7 | ? |
| 24 | ? |
Slope:
Use (3, 18) and (5, 20):
$$
m = \frac{20 - 18}{5 - 3} = \frac{2}{2} = 1
$$
Use (3, 18):
$$
18 = 1(3) + b \Rightarrow 18 = 3 + b \Rightarrow b = 15
$$
✔ Equation: $ y = x + 15 $
Now find missing values:
- $ x = 7 $: $ y = 7 + 15 = 22 $
- $ x = 24 $: $ y = 24 + 15 = 39 $
✔ Missing values: 22 and 39
