I am guessing a=2b obviously depends on the data given for x and y right? What if the data was not given? Is there a general approach to finding it? I mean how did you use 1,2,3,4,5 and 20,18,16,14,12 to come up with a=2b

edit: nevermind I think I get it if the change in data is constant and has a pattern. But I don't know what would be like if there was no pattern to the data. for example, x: 1,4,7,8,9 and y: 13,15,17,19,22

And i'd give you $20 for doing it so fast if it really was my homework haha...my real "homework" involves financial portfolios and accounting .
