The document discusses finding patterns in tables of values to write equations. It shows a table where the y-values are found by adding 5 to the x-values. By rewriting the table vertically and using number lines, it is evident that the relationship is y = x + 5, as the y-values are always 5 greater than the corresponding x-values. The document demonstrates finding the rule by recognizing that each value moves left by 3 when switching between the x and y columns.
