Given:

A function represents a line is given below

f(x) = 3x - 4

Find:

we have to determine the given line is increasing or decreasing or constant.

Step-by-step explanation:

we know a function f(x) is increasing if f'(x) > 0

and a function f(x) is is decreasing, if f'(x) < 0.

given f(x) = 3x - 4

f'(x) = 3

Therefore, f'(x) > 0.

Therefore, the line is increasing.
