Illustrative Math Alignment: Grade 8 Unit 3

Topic

Linear Functions

Description

This example demonstrates the creation of a table of x-y coordinates and the graphing of the linear function y = 5x. The image displays both a graph and a table representing this function. The table includes coordinate pairs (0, 0), (1, 5), (2, 10), (3, 15), and (4, 20), illustrating how the y-value increases by 5 for each unit increase in x.
