how would you find the function rule for a table

1 $2
2 $4
3 $6

It's just a pattern. Are the numbers increasing or decreasing? (Increasing) By how much? $2

So i was working in the office with Matt today and he said the funniest thing. He said if you get 1 stick and hit a bird with it two birds will appear! But if you hit the two birds with 2 sticks a pineapple with appear. But if you eat the pineapple you will become the pineapple but if you don't you die. So i tried this and ate the pineapple. turns out i turned into a walrus and because i don't like pineapples. Nor do i like walruses so i was changed to a cat. But i hate cats...kinda.....so i changed into a snake. I hate snakes also so after a bajillion changes i became me again. Except i was emo now. So as emo people are , always depressed and cutting them selfs . I became so depress and shot myself. After that i realized if you see this part you are still reading so read on! Then in my blood i lay thinking of how i can make this story longer. So i drug myself to a book store to get a book. " I DON'T READ!" i exclaimed. So i left the bookstore and went down the street. Were are you? and how are you alive? May be questions going through your head. But read on. All questions will be answered at the end. So as i was dragging my body down the road i managed to eat a pineapple. I hated it but i was hungry so i did eat it. As i swallowed that pineapple i could feel my legs again. THE PINEAPPLE WAS THE ANTIDOTE!!!! So walking down the street i was going to my apartment. I enter my apartment and sit down at the computer desk. I get on Facebook and realize that my friends have no lives and stay on this website all the time. But I have nothing to brag about because I am n here....aint I? So if you are still reading on. This story has no point at all and i was so bored i put together a random story. THE END..............................IS YET TO COME!!!!! So i got off the computer knowing that i need a life so i used transportation to get to school. I hate school so i left on my adventure of a life time. TO BE CONTINUED......remind me to continue this if your still reading. Please?

To find the function rule for a table, you need to observe the relationship between the input values (x-values) and the corresponding output values (y-values). In this case, the x-values are given as 1, 2, and 3, and the y-values are given as $2, $4, and $6.

To determine the function rule, look for a pattern in the y-values as the x-values increase. In this table, notice that the y-values are increasing by $2 for each corresponding x-value. This indicates a linear relationship between the x and y values.

To find the equation, you can use the slope-intercept form of a linear equation, which is y = mx + b. In this equation, m represents the slope of the line, and b represents the y-intercept (the value of y when x = 0).

Since the y-values increase by $2 for each x-value, we can say that the slope (m) is 2. The y-intercept (b) can be found by looking at the value of y when x = 0. In this case, since there is no given value for when x = 0, we can assume it is $0 because the pattern suggests that the y-values start at $0.

Therefore, the function rule for this table is y = 2x + 0, or simply y = 2x. This means that for any given x-value, if you multiply it by 2, you will get the corresponding y-value.
