SOLUTION
Given the data in the table below, we are to write the best equation that fits the data in the table in the form,
[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]
We will be resolving it using the graphical method,
Therefore, the graph is shown below:
From the graph above,
[tex]\begin{gathered} m=a=0.0845238 \\ b=-1.70159 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Therefore, the equation is
[tex]y=0.0845238x-1.70159[/tex]
Final answers
The notation is
[tex]y=0.0845238x+-1.70159[/tex]
The function notation is
[tex]f(x)=0.0845238x+-1.70159[/tex]
