Answer: A.) It is a linear function because there is a constant rate of change in both the input and output values.
============================================================
Explanation:
Note how x is decreasing by 3 each time
- -2-3 = -5
- -5-3 = -8
- -8-3 = -11
At the same time, y is also decreasing by 3 each time
This means we have a linear function. We have,
slope = (change in y)/(change in x)
slope = (-3)/(-3)
slope = 1
Recall that slope is another term for rate of change, so a constant slope means we have a constant rate of change.
----------------
Another way to find the slope is to pick any two points from the table and use the slope formula
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
You should find that any two points you pick will lead to a slope of 1. I recommend you try out all possible pairs to help convince yourself the slope is 1.
Oopp I’m just commenting bc of the points don’t come for me
Answer:
the like terms here are the x and the + symbol.
Step-by-step explanation:
If a part of the equation appears more than once that is a like term.
