These tables of values represent functions. in which table do the values represent and exponential function?

a. x y
1 5
2 9
3 13
4 17
5 21

b. x y
1 12
2 13
3 14
4 15
5 16

c. x y
1 16
2 29
3 42
4 55
5 68

d. x y
1 5
2 10
3 30
4 40
5 80

b. y = 4x - 2

step-by-step explanation:

to find a parallel equation to an equation, make sure both equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

y = 4x + 1

4 = slope

1 = y-intercept

y = 4x - 2

4 = slope

-2 = y-intercept

they both have the same slope but different y-intercepts, so, b. is the correct answer.

and to check your work, you can graph both equations. : )
