Linear Functions
(pp. 256–263)
Use the graph to write a linear function that relates y to x.
The points lie on a line. Find the slope by using the
y
(2, 3)
points (1, 1) and (2, 3).

the y-intercept is −1.

So, the linear function is y = 2x − 1.
Use the graph or table to write a linear function that relates y to x.
