9-30.

Complete the table. .

Notice that there are two known coordinates: and .

Now notice that for every difference of in the
-coordinate, the -coordinate changes by .
Use this reasoning to fill in the rest of the table.

The difference in the -coordinate from to is . Since is twice , the difference in the -coordinate from to is twice as much.

and

  1. Find the rule.

    To find the rule, look for a pattern that can relate the y-coordinate to the x-coordinate.

    Notice that at , .
    Also remember that the y-coordinate increases by for every units the -coordinate increases.


    You can fill in the last y-coordinate in the table by substituting into the rule.

  2. What is the slope?


    The slope describes how the values increase.
