Practical Application of the equation 𝒚 = 𝒎𝒙 + 𝒄 and 𝒀 = 𝒎𝑿 + 𝒄

1. Relationships can be
a. 𝑦 = 𝑎𝑥 𝑏
b. 𝑦 = 𝑎𝑏 𝑥
c. 𝑦 = 𝑎𝑥 + 𝑏
d. 𝑎𝑦 = 𝑏 𝑥
e. 𝑦 = 𝑘(𝑥 + 1)𝑛
f. 𝑦 = 𝑎𝑥 2 + 𝑏
g. Any other r/ship stated (Reduce any equation to Linear Form and compare it with 𝑦 = 𝑚𝑥 + 𝑐)
2. If 𝑦 = 𝑎𝑥 + 𝑏, by drawing a suitable straight line graph find the approximate values of 𝑎 and 𝑏
𝑥 3 5 7 10
𝑦 -2 2 6 12
[2 𝑎𝑛𝑑 − 4]
3. 𝑦 And 𝑥 are related by the equation 𝑎𝑦 = 𝑏 𝑥 . this is supported by the table below
𝑥 5 6 7 8
𝑦 1.07 2.13 4.27 8.53
by drawing a suitable straight line graph find the approximate values of 𝑎 and 𝑏 [𝑎 = 30, 𝑏 = 2]

4. Variables 𝑠 and 𝑡 are related by the equation 𝑠 = 𝑎𝑏 −𝑡 as shown below

𝑡 1 2 3 4
𝑠 1.5 0.4 0.1 0.02
by drawing a suitable straight line graph find the approximate values of 𝑎 and 𝑏 [𝑎 = 6, 𝑏 = 4]

5. The variables 𝑥 and 𝑦 are believed to satisfy a relationship of the form 𝑦 = 𝑘(𝑥 + 1)𝑛 . Show that the
experimental values shown in the table do satisfy the relationship. by drawing a suitable straight line graph find
the approximate values of k and 𝑛.
𝑥 4 8 15 19 24
𝑦 4.45 4.6 4.8 4.89 5
[𝑘 = 4, 𝑛 = 0.07]
6. Two variables 𝑠 and 𝑡 are related by a law of the form 𝑠 = 𝑘𝑒 −𝑛𝑡 . The values in the table where obtained from an
experiment.
𝑡 1 1.5 2 2.5 4
𝑠 1230 590 260 140 60
by drawing a suitable straight line graph find the approximate values of 𝑘 and 𝑛 [𝑘 = 5500, 𝑛 = 1.5]
7. Variables 𝑥 and 𝑦are related by the equation 𝑦 = 𝑎𝑥 2 + 𝑏 as shown below
𝑥 7 8 9 10 11 12
𝑦 40 46 53 60 69 78
by drawing a suitable straight line graph find the approximate values of 𝑎 and 𝑏 [𝑎 = 0.4, 𝑏 = 20
8. In a particular experiment, two variables 𝑥 and 𝑦 were noted and the results were tabulated. The results are of
𝑎
the relationship 𝑦 = 𝑥 + 𝑏
𝑥 1 1.5 2 3 4 6 8 10
𝑦 6 5.2 4.8 4.4 4.2 4 3.9 3.84
by drawing a suitable straight line graph find the approximate values of 𝑎 and 𝑏 [𝑎 = 2.4, 𝑏 = 3.6]
