Graph the line using intercepts: 4x-3y=12
2 answers:
First you have to find the intercepts!
To find the y-intercept (I usually do that first), pretend x=0.
Then it becomes:
4(0)-3y=12
Which then becomes:
-3y=12.
Divide both sides, and y = -4.
Then the (x,y) coordinate would become (0, -4).
Next you would find the x-intercept, and pretend y = 0.
Which then becomes:
4x-3(0)=12
3x0 cancels out to become:
4x = 12
And x = 3 because division stuffs.
Then THIS point would then be (3,0).
So then, you would plot (0,-4) and (3,0) on a graph and connect the points! I attached a picture for reference.

Answer:
D. y = 2x² + 1
E. y = x²
Step-by-step explanation:
Linear function:
A linear function has the following format:
In which a is the slope and b is the y-intercept. A constant function is linear, as it is the special case in which a = 0.
In this question:
In options D and E, the highest exponent of x is 2, which means that they are not linear functions, and so these options are the answer.
