Question

For the linear function (x)=7x-2, which of the following is true?

Answer 1

Answer:

Correct option is : 1) It has a slope of 7 and a y-intercept of -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is :

$f(x)=7x-2$                    .....1

The general form of equation of a linear function is given by :

$y=mx+c$                  .....2

where, y is the dependent variable, x is the independent variable, m is the slope of the function and c is the y-intercept.

On comparing equations 1 and 2, we get:

m = 7,c = -2

Thus, we can conclude that : Slope of equation is 7 and y-intercept is -2.

Thus, only option 1 satisfies the given solution.
