Which equation best fits the data in the table?
x: 1, 2, 3, 4
y: 5, 7, 7, 11
a.) y = x + 4
b.) y = 2x + 3
c.) y = 7
d.) y = 4x - 5

Put the values as coordinates (x,y)
(1, 5) and (2, 7)

Find the slope:
(7-5)/(2-1)
m=2

Find the y intercept:
y=mx+b
y=2x+b
5=2(1)+b
b=3

b.) y = 2x + 3 

Hope this helps :)

1. isolate the variable, in this case, d. subtract 35.5 on both sides of the equation.2. 52 subtracted by 35.5 is 16.53. therefore your answer would be d= 16.5this is the basics of pre algebra, isolating variable through adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing, if you have any other questions to ask just comment!
