Yes, f(x) = 16 - 7x is a linear function because there are no exponents and the rate of change (which is the slope) only adds or subtracts a certain number each time.

Hi!

In order for something to be a linear function, it must travel in a straight line. A straight line forms when it has a constant rate of change!

If a function has exponents, that function will not be linear. This is because the exponents don't allow for a constant rate of change in a straight line.

Hopefully, this helps! =)

The cost of Nate's dinner including a 15% tip was $43.70. What was the cost of dinner alone?

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

The cost of dinner alone was $37.145

Step-by-step explanation:

15%=0.15----Convert your percentage into a decimal

43.70*0.15=6.555----Multiply the cost of dinner with the decimal

$43.70-$6.555=$37.145----Subtract the last number(6.555) from the total(43.70) to get the cost of dinner alone of $37.145 -This is making you subtract the percentage from the total!

I hope this helped!
