There are two ways to equate a straight line. We first have y=mx+b. Then, we have (y-y₁)=m(x-x₁). Both work fine and have similar variables, but the numbers are mixed around a bit. Your equation clearly shows the second form of equation. As our equation has x-x₁ on the right, we can notice that x+1 must mimic that, so x+1=(x-x₁). As x-(-1)=x+1, we can only assume that x is -1. Looking at the points given to us, y must be -2, so we have y-(-2)=y+2, so 2 fills in the leftmost open box. To find the slope, or m, we must take
from points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂). It doesn't matter which point is (x₁, y₁) , but it matters that the y₁ corresponds to the x₁. Thus, we have our slope as

Answer: No this is not a linear function as the y values have different first differences.
Step-by-step explanation:
First we look at the x values. We start off and look at the second x value and subtract the first x value from it (That would be 1-0) and that equals to 1. Then we look at the third x value and subtract the second x value from it (2-1) and that equals to 1. Then we look at the fourth x value and subtract the third x value from it (That would be 3-2) and that is 1. Next we look at the fifth x value and subtract the fourth x value from it (That would be 4-3) and that is 1.
Now we look at the y values and do the same thing as with the x values. We start off and look at the second y value and subtract the first y value from it (That would be 1-0) and that equals to 1. Then we look at the third y value and subtract the second y value from it (4-1) and that equals to 3. Then we look at the fourth y value and subtract the third y value from it (That would be 9-4) and that is 5. Next we look at the fifth y value and subtract the fourth y value from it (That would be 16-9) and that is 7.
Even though the x values all have the same first differences, the y values do not and so this cannot be a linear function.
I hope this helps. Tell me if something doesn't make sense.
Answer:
15
Since 9 questions is 60% of the exam, you must find 100%. You could find the value of 10% by dividing 60 by 6. You do the same to 9, divide by 6 to get 1.5. Now that you have the value of 10% you can multiply 10% by 10 to get 100. You also do the same to 1.5. Your answer should be 15, if not check your work again.
