Answer:
Yes, it is a linear equation. This equation is in y=mx+b form, which is a linear equation. To rearrange it into y=mx+b form, you'll just do y= -2x+8
To make a line, you only need two points, so here are two points that fit into the line of y= -2x+8:
(0,8) and (1,6)
can be simplified to by adding the 7 and 10 to get
.
cannot be simplified any more by combining like terms.
By distributing the 2b into the parentheses, you can simplify the expression:
Here you can just add:
Thus, the only expression that cannot simplify any more using adding like terms is the second,
.
Do you have a picture of the scatter plot
f(x) + n - move the graph n units up
f(x) - n - move the graph n units down
n · f(x) - stretch by n in the y-direction
1/n · f(x) - compress by n in the y-direction
