<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>
A linear function is modeled by:
y = mx + b
In which:
- m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
- b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.
For x equal or less than -2, the line passes through (-3,-3) and (-2,-2), hence the rule is:
.
For x greater than -2 up to 1, the y-intercept is of -7, and the line also passes through (1,-8), hence the rule is:
.
For x greater than 1, the function goes through (2,-5) and (3,-3), hence the slope is:
m = (-3 - (-5))(3 - 2) = 2.
The rule is:
y = 2x + b.
When x = 2, y = -5, hence:
-5 = 2(2) + b
b = -9.
Hence:
.

4x + 2 - 3x + 5 - 2(x + 5) = (2x - 5) + (3x + 4)
4x + 2 - 3x + 5 - 2x - 10 = 2x - 5 + 3x + 4
4x - 3x - 2x + 5 + 2 - 10 = 2x + 3x - 5 + 4
- x - 3 = 5x - 1
-x - 3 = 5x - 1 is the line above recopied
+x = +x
-3 = 6x - 1
<span> +1 = + 1 </span>
- 2 = 6x
- 2/6 = 6x/6
- 1/3 = x, the answer
