Question

For the function Y=5x, what would happen if the value 5 was changed to 3

Answer 1

y = 3 * x

Explanation:

We have the function y = 5 * x, they ask us what would happen if we change the 5 by the 3. thus:

y = 3 * x

the constant that accompanies x in this case is an increase or slope constant, that is, now x will not increase by a ratio of 5, but by a ratio of 3. For example:

If x were worth 10

the value before was 50 and now it will be 30.

I do not increase 5 times but 3 times.
