Linear rule from a function table (ACT). Game on.

Linear rule from a function table (ACT) is a grade 9 math skill aligned to Common Core standard HSF.LE.A.2: construct linear and exponential functions, including arithmetic and geometric sequences, given a graph, a description of a relationship, or two input-output pairs. Below are 8 practice questions with answers and step-by-step explanations, drawn from the 10 linear rule from a function table (act) problems our math games drill.

The table shows values of a linear function g.g\textsf{.}
\begin{array}{c|c} x & g(x) \ \hline 0 & 15 \ 1 & 12 \ 2 & 9 \ 3 & 6 \end{array}
Which of the following is
g(x)?g(x)\textsf{?}

The outputs decrease by 33 each time xx increases by 1,1\textsf{,} so the constant rate is 3.-3\textsf{.} When x=0,x = 0\textsf{,} g(0)=15,g(0) = 15\textsf{,} so g(x)=3x+15.g(x) = -3x + 15\textsf{.}

Plant height, in centimeters, after xx weeks:
\begin{array}{c|cccc} x & 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 \ \hline k(x) & 8 & 11 & 14 & 17 \end{array}
Which of the following is
k(x)?k(x)\textsf{?}

The height increases by 33 centimeters each week, and the starting height is 88 centimeters. So k(x)=3x+8.k(x) = 3x + 8\textsf{.}

The table shows values of a linear function s.s\textsf{.}
\begin{array}{c|c} x & s(x) \ \hline -2 & 1 \ -1 & 4 \ 0 & 7 \ 1 & 10 \end{array}
Which of the following is
s(x)?s(x)\textsf{?}

The outputs increase by 33 each time xx increases by 1,1\textsf{,} so the constant rate is 3.3\textsf{.} When x=0,x = 0\textsf{,} s(0)=7,s(0) = 7\textsf{,} so s(x)=3x+7.s(x) = 3x + 7\textsf{.}

Outdoor temperature, in ^\circF, xx hours after noon:
\begin{array}{c|c} x & w(x) \ \hline 0 & 72 \ 1 & 69 \ 2 & 66 \ 3 & 63 \end{array}
Which of the following is
w(x)?w(x)\textsf{?}

The temperature decreases by 33 degrees each hour, and at noon the temperature is 72.72\textsf{.} So w(x)=3x+72.w(x) = -3x + 72\textsf{.}

The table shows values of a linear function h.h\textsf{.}
\begin{array}{c|cccc} x & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 \ \hline h(x) & 7 & 10 & 13 & 16 \end{array}
Which of the following is
h(x)?h(x)\textsf{?}

The outputs increase by 33 each time xx increases by 1,1\textsf{,} so the constant rate is 3.3\textsf{.} Using the point (1,7)(1, 7) gives 3(1)+b=7,3(1) + b = 7\textsf{,} so b=4.b = 4\textsf{.} Therefore h(x)=3x+4.h(x) = 3x + 4\textsf{.}

The table shows values of a linear function q.q\textsf{.}
\begin{array}{c|c} x & q(x) \ \hline 0 & 5 \ 2 & 6 \ 4 & 7 \ 6 & 8 \end{array}
Which of the following is
q(x)?q(x)\textsf{?}

From x=0x = 0 to x=2,x = 2\textsf{,} q(x)q(x) increases by 1,1\textsf{,} so the constant rate is 12.\dfrac{1}{2}\textsf{.} When x=0,x = 0\textsf{,} q(0)=5,q(0) = 5\textsf{,} so q(x)=12x+5.q(x) = \dfrac{1}{2}x + 5\textsf{.}

The table shows values of a linear function r.r\textsf{.}
\begin{array}{c|cccc} x & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 \ \hline r(x) & 9 & 5 & 1 & -3 \end{array}
Which of the following is
r(x)?r(x)\textsf{?}

The outputs decrease by 44 each time xx increases by 1,1\textsf{,} so the constant rate is 4.-4\textsf{.} Using the point (1,9)(1, 9) gives 4(1)+b=9,-4(1) + b = 9\textsf{,} so b=13.b = 13\textsf{.} Therefore r(x)=4x+13.r(x) = -4x + 13\textsf{.}

The table shows values of a linear function n.n\textsf{.}
\begin{array}{c|cccc} x & 2 & 4 & 6 & 8 \ \hline n(x) & 11 & 15 & 19 & 23 \end{array}
Which of the following is
n(x)?n(x)\textsf{?}

From x=2x = 2 to x=4,x = 4\textsf{,} n(x)n(x) increases by 4,4\textsf{,} so the constant rate is 42=2.\dfrac{4}{2} = 2\textsf{.} Using the point (2,11)(2, 11) gives 2(2)+b=11,2(2) + b = 11\textsf{,} so b=7.b = 7\textsf{.} Therefore n(x)=2x+7.n(x) = 2x + 7\textsf{.}
