Extra Help:

If you have an equation, youcan find a table. An equationtells how to get an output from an input. If you follow the equation rule, you can find the output for anyinput. For example:

If your input is x=1, theoutput will be 1/3 + 2 = 2 1/3

If your input is x=4, theoutput will be 4/3 + 2 = 3 1/3

You can record inputs andoutputs in a table:

input (x)	output (y)
1	2 1/3
4	3 1/3

You can do this for as manyinputs as you want to, and make the table larger if you want to. For the homework, you only need to findthe outputs specified.

If you have a table, you canmake a graph. Place a dot forevery input-output pair that will fit on your grid paper. Connect the dots.  For this homework problem, your linesshould all fit together to make a straight line. For the table we just made, I would show these dots andlines:

If you have a graph, you canfind points that match up with grid points, and record those as inputs andoutputs in your table (as in the examples on the other page). You can figure out inputs and outputsthat don’t fall on grid points by using fractions and/or division.

Once you have a table withvalues for inputs 0 and 1, you can find the start value (output at 0), and thestep size (also called the slope and the rate of change). You can always find an equation byusing the start value, and adding on multiples of the step size: start value +n(step size).
