Find the Function Rule table[[x,y],[1,6],[2,9],[3,12]]

$\begin{array}{c} x & y \\ 1 & 6 \\ 2 & 9 \\ 3 & 12 \end{array}$

Check if the function rule is linear.

To find if the table follows a function rule, check to see if the values follow the linear form $y = a x + b$ .

$y = a x + b$

Build a set of equations from the table such that $y = a x + b$ .

$6 = a (1) + b 9 = a (2) + b 12 = a (3) + b$

Calculate the values of $a$ and $b$ .

Solve for $a$ in $6 = a + b$ .

Rewrite the equation as $a + b = 6$ .

$a + b = 6$

$9 = a (2) + b$

$12 = a (3) + b$

Subtract $b$ from both sides of the equation.

$a = 6 - b$

$9 = a (2) + b$

$12 = a (3) + b$

$a = 6 - b$

$9 = a (2) + b$

$12 = a (3) + b$

Replace all occurrences of $a$ with $6 - b$ in each equation.

Replace all occurrences of $a$ in $9 = a (2) + b$ with $6 - b$ .
