It is understood without being written that the slope of this line is 1. If we rewrite the point-slope form of the line it would be y-8=1(x-4) where 1 is the slope. We move the -8 over by addition to get y = 1x-4+8, or, simplified, y=x+4, the first choice in your answers.
The answer would be the second one, the graph is decreasing everywhere
The inverse function of the function above is f(x) = 4x + 8
You can find the inverse to any function by switching the x and f(x) values. After that, solve for the new f(x) value. The result will be the inverse function. The step-by-step process for this one is done below for you.
f(x) = 1/4x - 2 ----> Start by switching the f(x) and x
x = 1/4f(x) - 2 ----> Now add 2 to both sides
x + 2 = 1/4f(x) ----> Now multiply both sides by 4
f(x) = 4x + 8
Now that you've solved it for the new f(x), you have your inverse function.
It is true due to the commutative property of multiplication. If all of your operations are multiplication, then the integers can move around and you can still get the same answer.
^This is only true if you meant to type (1.8x3)x2.1=(1.8x2.1)x3
If you meant what you typed, then the equation is false. The left side would be 3 times the value of the right side due to the 3 being on the left side and not the right side while without the 3 the two sides would be equal.
