Answer:

y = 2.3x is a linear function.

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear function is a function with all of its terms to the first degree, in other words, none of its terms has an exponent. This means that when the function is plotted out, the resulting graph will be a line. The function, ( y = 2.3x) satisfies both of these requirements, hence it is linear.

Describe the transformation f(-x)

Allisa [31]

Changing $x\mapsto -x$ "inverts" the orientation of the x axis, so the graph of f(x) is transformed by reflecting it about the y axis.
