Question

Please show me where the points go on a graph for the function f(x) = (3/5)x - 4.

A) I cannot provide a visual representation in this text-based format.
B) The points on the graph would form a straight line with a slope of 3/5 and a y-intercept of -4.
C) The points on the graph would form a parabolic curve.
D) The points on the graph would form a circle.

Answer 1

The function f(x) = (3/5)x - 4 represents a straight line on a graph with a slope of 3/5 and a y-intercept of -4. Correct option is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function f(x) = (3/5)x - 4 represents a straight line on a graph. To plot the points on the graph, we need to choose different values for x and substitute them into the equation to find the corresponding y-values.

Let's choose x = 0. If we substitute this value into the equation, we get f(0) = (3/5)(0) - 4 = -4. This gives us the point (0, -4) on the graph.

We can choose more values for x and find the corresponding y-values to plot more points on the graph. By connecting these points, we get a straight line with a slope of 3/5 and a y-intercept of -4.
