A linear function is an algebraic equation in which each term is either a constant or the product of a constant and (the first power of) a single variable. For example, a common equation,
y
=
m
x
+
b
, (namely the slope-intercept form, which we will learn more about later) is a linear function because it meets both criteria with
x
and
y
as variables and
m
and
b
as constants. It is linear: the exponent of the
x
term is a one (first power), and it follows the definition of a function: for each input (
x
) there is exactly one output (
y
). Also, its graph is a straight line.
Answer:
The slope is 4
Step-by-step explanation:
First we pick 2 points (x, y):
(0, -2) and (1, 2)
Then, we use the slope (m) formula:
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
Given:
y2 = 2
y1 = -2
x2 = 1
x1 = 0
Work:
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (2 + 2)/(1 - 0)
m = 4/1
m = 4
Yes it is right because you are measuring by either the base to height or length times width
You would multiply 2 1/2 and 3 3/4, which would give you 9.375 or as a mixed number 9 7/8
