Question

Which shows the equation of the line using function notation?

Answer 1

In function notation (f(x)=mx+b) m represents the slope and b represents the y-intercept.

In a straight horizontal line the slope is always 0. This cancels out the 'x' factor so you get f(x)=b.

To find b you simply look at where the line crosses the y-axis. in this case it crosses at 2.

When you plug in the y-intercept you get f(x)=2
