Absolutely! Let’s solve each problem step by step. We are to write the
equation in slope-intercept form:
>
y = mx + b
where:
-
m = slope (rate of change) = (change in y) / (change in x)
-
b = y-intercept (value of y when x = 0)

✔ Problem 1:
| x | y |
|---|---|
| 0 | 6 |
| 1 | 7 |
| 2 | 8 |
| 3 | 9 |
| 4 |10 |
- When
x = 0,
y = 6 → so
b = 6
- Slope
m = (7 - 6)/(1 - 0) = 1/1 =
1
✔ Equation: y = 1x + 6 → y = x + 6
---
✔ Problem 2:
| x | y |
|---|---|
| 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 5 |
| 3 | 9 |
| 4 |13 |
| 5 |17 |
- Pick two points: (1,1) and (2,5)
→ m = (5 - 1)/(2 - 1) = 4/1 =
4
Now plug into y = mx + b using point (1,1):
1 = 4(1) + b → 1 = 4 + b →
b = -3
✔ Equation: y = 4x - 3
*(Check with another point: x=3 → y=4*3 -3 = 12-3=9 ✓)*
---
✔ Problem 3:
| x | y |
|---|---|
| 2 |12 |
| 4 |16 |
| 8 |24 |
|10 |28 |
- Use (2,12) and (4,16):
m = (16 - 12)/(4 - 2) = 4/2 =
2
Plug into y = mx + b using (2,12):
12 = 2(2) + b → 12 = 4 + b →
b = 8
✔ Equation: y = 2x + 8
*(Check: x=8 → y=2*8+8=24 ✓)*
---
✔ Problem 4:
| x | y |
|---|---|
| 0 | 0 |
| 1 | 6 |
| 2 |12 |
| 3 |18 |
- When x=0, y=0 →
b = 0
- m = (6 - 0)/(1 - 0) = 6 →
m = 6
✔ Equation: y = 6x
*(Check: x=2 → y=12 ✓)*
---
✔ Problem 5:
| x | y |
|---|---|
| 5 | 4 |
|20 |10 |
|30 |14 |
|35 |16 |
Use (5,4) and (20,10):
m = (10 - 4)/(20 - 5) = 6/15 =
2/5
Now plug into y = mx + b using (5,4):
4 = (2/5)(5) + b → 4 = 2 + b →
b = 2
✔ Equation: y = (2/5)x + 2
*(Check: x=30 → y=(2/5)*30 + 2 = 12 + 2 = 14 ✓)*
---
✔ Problem 6:
| x | y |
|---|---|
| 0 | 3 |
| 1 | 7 |
| 2 |11 |
| 3 |15 |
- When x=0, y=3 →
b = 3
- m = (7 - 3)/(1 - 0) = 4 →
m = 4
✔ Equation: y = 4x + 3
*(Check: x=2 → y=8+3=11 ✓)*
