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.
To graph the line, we must first find out the equation for the line in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b). So far, we only have the slope, so the line's equation is y = 3/4x + b. But, by inserting the values of x and y in the point we know, we can find the y - intercept.
4 = 3/4 + b
b = 13/4
That means that the equation of our line is y = 3/4x + 13/4. Now we can graph. But, there is another way to go about (slightly faster too). Since we know the coordinates of 1 point, we can put that line down. Then, since we know that slope is rise over run, we can say, that with a slope of 3/4, one would go 3 points up for every 4 to the right. Now we can go 3 points up and 4 points to the right of point (1,4). That would be (5, 7). Now we can graph (since we have 2 points, or an equation).
The graph looks like this:
Answer: The answer is all real numbers
Step-by-step explanation:
This is the answer because the line goes on infinitely and will pass through all of the numbers (negative, positive). Its not y 0 because it passes through 0 when the line goes through x (side to side) axis.
