\

From the table, the two points are $\"\"$ .

\

Substitute the values of $\"\"$ in the slope formula $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$ .

\

Substitute the values of $\"\"$ in the point - slope form of the equation $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$

\

Subtract 1 from each side.

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ .

\

The linear equation is $\"\"$ . $\"\"$

\

To check the equation, substitute the all values for x in the equation $\"\"$ to obtain random y - values of table.

\

If $\"\"$ then $\"\"$ (This is true statement).

\

If $\"\"$ then $\"\"$ (This is true statement).

\

If $\"\"$ then $\"\"$

\

The above statement is not true, because if $\"\"$ then $\"\"$ .

\

If $\"\"$ then $\"\"$ (This is true statement).

\

If $\"\"$ then $\"\"$ (This is true statement).

\

Therefore the table does not represent the linear equation. $\"\"$

\

No, the table does not represent the linear equation.
