- Table 1 matches Graph 4 because the y-values increase at a non-constant rate, starting slowly and increasing faster, which corresponds to the curved shape of Graph 4.
- Table 2 matches Graph 1 because the y-values increase by a constant amount (2) for each unit increase in x, indicating a linear relationship with a positive slope, matching the straight line in Graph 1.
- Table 3 matches Graph 2 because the y-values increase by a constant amount (4) for each 3-unit increase in x, which is a linear relationship with a smaller slope, matching the gentle upward slope in Graph 2.
- Table 4 matches Graph 3 because the y-values decrease as x increases, indicating a negative slope, and the values halve each time x increases by 1, which corresponds to the downward-sloping line in Graph 3.
