Let's say I have the following relation between two numbers:



x = 10 => y = 1
x = 30 => y = 2
x = 40 => y = 3
x = 60 => y = 4
x = 70 => y = 5
x = 90 => y = 6


So how to put that in an equation and what do that kind of equations called?

    There are an infinite number of functions matching those 6 points, so that can't be answered in any reasonable way.

  • An example of one such function, assuming those are your only values, could be $y=(x+5)/15$ where $/$ indicates integer division (so $35/15 = 2$ and the fractional part $0.33333ldots$ is discarded).

An example of one such function, assuming those are your only values, could be $y=(x+5)/15$ where $/$ indicates integer division (so $35/15 = 2$ and the fractional part $0.33333ldots$ is discarded).

The naming suggests that these are pairs of $x$ and $y$ coordinates, they can be interpreted as points in the plane.



There are infinite many functions which have those points included in their graph. So one needs to ask such a function to fulfill additional properties, e.g. continuity or differentiability, or using certain sets of terms only, to reduce the set of solutions for this problem.



In numerical analysis one learns about interpolation functions, e.g. Lagrange polynomials, Newton interpolation.



Another interpretation could be as integer sequence with index $x$ and value $y$ for that index. Here I would refer to a dictionary like OEIS.
