Question

B(x)

y-3=3(x + 1)

Where b(x) is the linear function with selected values give in the table

b(x) | x
-2 -1
-4 0
-10 3
-14. 5

Answer 1

Explanation:

Based on the values in the table, we can find the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) of the linear function.

Using the points (-2, -4) and (-1, 0), the slope can be calculated as follows:

m = (change in y) / (change in x) = (0 - (-4)) / (-1 - (-2)) = 4

Using the point (-2, -4) and the slope (m = 4), we can find the y-intercept (b) using the equation y = mx + b:

-4 = 4(-2) + b

-4 = -8 + b

b = 4

Therefore, the linear function b(x) can be written as:

b(x) = 4x + 4
