y = 4x - 1

4(1) - 1 = 3
4(2) - 1 = 7
4(3) - 1 = 11

Answer:

[tex]y=4x-1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

x y

1 3

2 7

3 11

The given table is a linear because the difference in y values is a constant

[tex]7-3=4[/tex]

[tex]11-7=4[/tex]

constant value is the slope that is m=4

Linear equation is in the form of [tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

we know slope m is 4

Now we find out b using the value of x  and y given in the table

Plug in x=1, y=3 and m= 4

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

[tex]3=4(1)+b[/tex]

[tex]3=4+b[/tex], subtract 4 from both sides

[tex]b=-1[/tex]

So the equation that represents the table is

[tex]y=4x-1[/tex]
