A constant never changes. Its value is constant, which is a big part of the reason why it's called a "constant". " 42 " is constant. It doesn't depend on anything.

A variable can change. Its value varies, and that's why it's described as "variable". ' x ' is a variable. Its value depends on what ' x ' is.

What happens to the value of the expression 1+3f1+3f1, plus, 3, f as fff increases? Choose 1 answer: Choose 1 answer: (Choice A)

Leto [7]

Answer:

A. It Increases

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression:

1+3f

When f=1, 1+3f=1+3(1)=1+3=4

When f=2, 1+3f=1+3(2)=1+6=7

When f=3, 1+3f=1+3(3)=1+9=10

We can see that the value of the given expression for each successive term increases and in fact form the sequence

4,7,10,...

Therefore, when f increases, 1+3f increases.

Write the equation of the line that passes through the point (-2, 7) and is PARALLEL to the line y = -4x + 1.

qwelly [4]

Answer:

The equation is $y=x-9$

Step-by-step explanation:

If we want a line parallel to the line in the problem it will have the same slope. The equation given in the problem is already in slope intercept form so we can take the slope for the new equation directly from this equation.

The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is: $y=mx+b$
