What is the function rule that describes the pattern in the table?

| X | Y |
|----|-----|
| -2 | -17 |
| -1 | -5 |
| 0 | 7 |
| 1 | 19 |
| 2 | 31 |

A. \( y = (x + 12) - 7 \)
B. \( y = 12x - 7 \)
C. \( x = 12y + 7 \)
D. \( y = 12x + 7 \)

Answer (3)

The answer is D. You can rule out A and B by looking at the x value of 0 because the corresponding y value is 7 so you need to add 7 to a number multiplied by 0. And then you know it's not C because if you plug in the 0 for x it doesn't work.

**Answer: D. ** y = 12 x + 7 ;

The function rule that describes the pattern in the table is y = 12 x + 7 . This is verified by substituting the values of x from the table into the equation, and all y values correspond correctly. Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
