Table to Y = MX + B
When you are given a table and asked for the
equation Y = MX + B here are the steps to follow:
1) Find the slope
a. Calculate the change in Y by subtracting
b. calculate the change in x by subtracting
c. Slope = 𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑌
𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑋
2) Once you know the slope, you need to find the y-incept.
a. If the table has an x value of 0, the corresponding
Y value is the y – intercept
b. If it does not then pick one ordered pair from the
table and solve the equation for B.
