Final answer:
To graph the function, plot five points using the given function. Then, plot these points on a graph and label the x and y axes accordingly.
Step-by-step explanation:
To graph the function, we need to plot five points on the graph. Let's assign values to x and find their corresponding y values using the given function.
Let's take x = -2, -1, 0, 1, and 2 as our five x-values. Plugging these values into the function, we get the following y-values:
- For x = -2, y = f(-2) = -173.5 + 4.83(-2) = -173.5 - 9.66 = -183.16
- For x = -1, y = f(-1) = -173.5 + 4.83(-1) = -173.5 - 4.83 = -178.33
- For x = 0, y = f(0) = -173.5 + 4.83(0) = -173.5
- For x = 1, y = f(1) = -173.5 + 4.83(1) = -173.5 + 4.83 = -168.67
- For x = 2, y = f(2) = -173.5 + 4.83(2) = -173.5 + 9.66 = -163.84
Now that we have the five data points, we can plot them on a graph. Make sure to label the x and y axes correctly according to the given function.
