Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
If an expression is not dependent on x, it simplified form must not contain x. To show that this is the case for (a) and (b) we need to simplify them and assess:
(a)
Indeed, does not depend on x!
And (b)
Again, does not depend on x.
C. y = 3x - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Given coordinates:
(2, 2), (3, 5), (5, 11), (7, 17)
The equation of any straight line is
y = mx + c
Where
m = Gradient
c = Constant
Gradient = y2 - y1/x2 - x1
Substitute any two values of y with the respective values of x.
Gradient = 17 - 2/7 - 2
= 15/5
= 3
Substitute the gradient into the general formula.
y = 3x + c
Substitute any value of the coordinate to the equation
2 = 3(2) + c
2 = 6 + c
c = -4
From y = mx + c,
substitute the values of m, the gradient, and c, the constant.
y = (3)x + (-4)
y = 3x - 4
Answer:
y = .1x + .16
↓
y= .1x + .2
