Answer the following questions using what you've learned from this unit. Write your
responses in the space provided.
1. Find the equation of the line that is modeled by the values in the table shown below.

points) Slope intercept= y= 5/2x-4 y2-y1/x2-x1= (6-1)/(4-2)= 5/2=slope
Part II: Using the slope you found in Part I and the values in the table, write the
equation of the linear function represented by the table. Write your equation in
point-slope form. (6 points) y-y1= m(x-x1)= y-1= 5/2(x-2)
