What is the slope-intercept form of the function described by this table? x 1 2 3 4 y 8 13 18 23 enter your answer in the boxes.

 The required slope-intercept form of the function is

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the slope-intercept form of the function described by the following table :

x       1      2     3     4

y      8     13    18    23

From the above table, we have the values

y(1) = 8,  y(2) = 13,  y(3) = 18   and   y(4) = 23.

We know that the slope of a function passing through the points (a, b) and (c, d) is given by

So, if we consider the points (1, 8) and (2, 13), then the slope of the given function will be

Since the function passes through the point (1, 8), so its equation is

Thus, the required slope-intercept form of the function is

company a

step-by-step explanation:

using the linear regression models , it is found that company a   pays about $14 more. but using the same regression (linear) company b pays about $10 more.

so company a pays more than b
