Question

Silas claims that the equation y=2+mx, where m is a real number, represents a function whose graph is a straight line.

Select the statement that BEST classifies this claim.

Answer 1

The claim is true for all values of m.

Explanation:

Given

`y = 2 + mx`

Required

Which claim is true [See comment for options]

A linear equation is represented as:

`y = mx + c`

Where

`m = slope`

And the value of m knows no bound

i..e

`m > 0`

`m = 0`

`m < 0`

Hence, (a) is correct
