Question

Write a function rule for “The output is 6 more than five times the input.” Use x for the independent variable and y for the dependent variable. y=

Answer 1

y=5x+6

Explanation:

+6 is six more than.

5x is five times the input.

For example, let's say x=3. you gotta multiply first so you can get the five times out of the way. 3×5=15. Now we got to add six because "6 more than" means to add six. so, 15+6=21. I plugged in 21 for y to check and I got x=3, so this works.
