I learned how to find the rule of a linear equation using a T chart and to solve the equation given what ever the number X is. I can then identify the coordinates and graph the equation.

in my example I can see that the Y indicators go up by 4 each time. that means the rule starts with 4x. Sometimes the beginning of a rule doesn’t equal the first Y indicator after we multiply the rule by 1 so we need to add. In this instance because 4×1=4, and we don’t need to add anything to equal the Y indicator, I know my rule is complete. I can use the rule to determine the rest of the coordinates ( x indicators and y products)
