Step 2. Find the value for b.
Since each value of y is moved 2 units for x, , or b2 is required to move between two points. To determine the b -value, set up an equation and solve.
10•b2 = 250
b2 = 25
b = 5
Step 3. Use an ordered pair to solve for the value of a.
For this example, use the point (1, 10)
Step 4. Use the values of a and b to write an equation.
