x
intercept:
x
=
−
5
3
y
intercept:
y
=
5
Explanation:
For a linear graph, the quickest way to sketch the function is to determine the
x
and
y
intercepts and draw a line between the two: this line is our graph.
Let's calculate the
y
intercept first:
With any function,
y
intercepts where
x
=
0
.
Therefore, substituting
x
=
0
into the equation, we get:
y
=
3
⋅
0
+
5
y
=
5
Therefore, the
y
intercept cuts through the point (0,5)
Let's calculate the
x
intercept next:
Recall that with any function:
y
intercepts where
x
=
0
.
The opposite is also true: with any function
x
intercepts where
y
=
0
.
If we substitute
y
=
0
, we get:
0
=
3
x
+
5
Let's now rearrange and solve for
x
to calculate the
x
intercept.
−
5
=
3
x
−
5
3
=
x
Therefore, the
x
intercept cuts through the point
(
−
5
3
,
0
)
.
Now we have both the
x
and
y
intercepts, all we have to do is essentially plot both intercepts on a set of axis and draw a line between them
The graph of the function

<span>The mean would typically be the best measure of determining the success of this business. Barring the presence of any outlier values, finding the average number of cameras sold per period (week, month, year, etc.) would give a better picture than the range or mode. The median could be used, but it is a bit less descriptive than the median in this instance.</span>
No, 1.888 is a rational number.
