Shayla is tracking the weight of the smallest puppy in a litter. use the table to write a linear function that models the puppy's growth.
week weight in ounces
0 3
1 6
2 9
3 12
y = 3x + 3
y equals one third times x plus 3
y = 3x + 12
y equals one third times x plus 12

y=3x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets say that week weight in ounces is 'y' variable, and the week number is 'x' variable

Lets also remember the equation for a line, y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is an offset (the value the function has when x=0), the slope is obtained from equation (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)

The selected points will be (1,6) as Point 2 and (0,3) as Point 1. We have m=3

And from the point 1 we can also obtain the value for b.

So y=3x+3

.there can be infinite values of m and n that can satisfy the above equation. for each value of m of m or n. there maybe infinite sets of solution for the above
