Question

Jeremy claims that if a linear function has a slope of the same steepness and the same y-intercept as the linear function in the graph, then it must be the same function.

Answer 1

Here, we have to examine the equation of the straight line which is denoted by: y = m x +c where "m" is the slope which represents the steepness and c is the y-intercept

Here, the two linear functions have the same slope "m" and the same y-intercept "c". When both these are the same, the two linear functions are representing the same straight line.

Therefore, Jeremy is correct in his argument.

Answer 2

Jeremy is correct.
If two lines have the same slope and y-intercept, they are the same line.
