Example 1 Suppose you are washing and drying clothes at a self-service laundry. The relationship between the number of loads (input) and the cost (output) is a function. Use the table to write a function rule. Number of Loads1234 Cost$2.75$5.50$8.25$11.00

Example 1a Write a function rule for the relationship between the number of hours (input) and the number of miles (output). HoursTotal Miles 160 2120 3180 4240
6
Example 2 The relationship between the number of houses and the number of toothpicks is a function. Use the table to write a function rule. Number of Houses Total Number of Toothpicks 16 211 316 423
