Complete the steps to write an explicit formula that
represents the sequence.
1. Find the slope of the line that passes through the
points given in the table. The slope is
Use one of the given points to find the y-
intercept. Substitute values for x, y, and m into
the equation y = mx + b and solve for b. The y-
intercept is
3. Write the formula as a function of n in slope-
intercept form. The function is
for n in the set of natural
numbers.

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points given in the table. The slope is 5.

Use one of the given points to find the y-intercept. Substitute values for x, y, and m into the equation y = mx + b and solve for b. The y-intercept is 1.

Write the formula as a function of n in slope-intercept form. The function is

f(n) = 5n+1  for n in the set of natural numbers.

step-by-step explanation:

(- 1, 0 )

step-by-step explanation:

an x- intercept is where the function crosses the x- axis.

to find the x- intercept/s look for the value of x when f(x) = 0

from the given table there are 3 values of x where f(x) = 0

when x = - 1, x = 2, x = 3

the one that is listed is (- 1, 0 )
