Linear function rule in terms of x and y for this line is y = x + 12
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that a line goes through the points (4, 16) and (7, 19)
To find: linear function rule in terms of x and y for this line
A linear function is a function of the form f(x) = ax + b, where a and b are real numbers. Here, a represents the slope of the line, and b represents the y-axis intercept
<em><u>The slope intercept form is given as:</u></em>
y = mx + c
Where "m" is the slope of line and "c" is the y - intercept
Let us first find slope of line
<em><u>The slope "m" of a line is given as:</u></em>
Thus the slope of line is 1
Substitute m = 1 and (x, y) = (4, 16) in y = mx + c
16 = 1(4) + c
c = 16 - 4 = 12
Substitute c = 12 and m = 1 in slope intercept form
y = 1x + 12
y = x + 12 is the required linear function rule
If you evaluate directly this function at x=0, you'll see that you have a zero denominator.
Nevertheless, the only way for a fraction to equal zero is to have a zero numerator, i.e.
So, this function can't have zeroes, because the only point that would annihilate the numerator would annihilate the denominator as well.
Moreover, we have
So, we can't even extend with continuity this function in such a way that
