1/5 is the smallest fraction
A Yes as the x values are all different
B f(x) = 5x + 14
when x = 2 , f(x) = 5(2) + 14 = 24
x = 5, f(x) = 39,
Each value of f(x) is greater than corresponding ones in the function in A.
when x = 9 f(x) = 59 which is greater than for first function ( =12)
First function is a decreasing while f(x) is increasing
C f(x) = 64 = 5x + 14
5x = 64 - 14 = 50
x = 10
if you look at delta y over x, you'll notice it always equals 2
i.e (22-2)/10-0 = 20/10 = 2
or (14-2)/6-0 = 12/6 = 2
or even (22-8)/10-3 = 14/7 = 2
This means that m (slope) is 2.
Now as for b. b is the y intercept and that value occurs when x = 0. On the table, when x = 0 y = 2 so b = 2.
y = mx + b becomes
y = 2x + 2
