Question

#6: Tell whether the function below is 1 point linear or exponential. * f(x) = -1/4x + 5

Answer 1

Answer:

Linear function

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$f(x) = -\frac{1}{4}x + 5$

Required

Linear or Exponential

A linear equation has the form: $f(x) = mx + c$;

An exponential has the form: $f(x) = ab^x$

By comparing both functions to: $f(x) = -\frac{1}{4}x + 5$

The linear function is similar to $f(x) = -\frac{1}{4}x + 5$

Hence, the given function is a linear function.
