Question

#6: Tell whether the function below is 1 point

linear or exponential.
*
f(x) = -1/4x + 5

Answer 1

Linear function

Explanation:

Given

`f(x) = -(1)/(4)x + 5`

Required

Linear or Exponential

A linear equation has the form:
`f(x) = mx + c`;

An exponential has the form:
`f(x) = ab^x`

By comparing both functions to:
`f(x) = -(1)/(4)x + 5`

The linear function is similar to
`f(x) = -(1)/(4)x + 5`

Hence, the given function is a linear function.
