Question

Which of the following statements are true? Select all that apply.

If the equation were graphed, it would be a horizontal line.
Both functions have the same slope.
The origin is the y-intercept for the function expressed in the table.
The linear equation does not have a y-intercept.
The table and the graph express an equivalent function.

Answer 1

Answer:Both functions have the same slope.

The origin is the y-intercept for the function expressed in the table.

The table and the graph express an equivalent function.

Explanation:

Compare the linear functions expressed below by data in a table and by an equation.

A 2-column table with 4 rows. Column 1 is labeled x with entries negative 6, negative four-thirds, 1, 4. Column 2 is labeled y with entries negative StartFraction 9 Over 2 EndFraction, negative 1, three-fourths, 3. y = three-fourths x.

Which of the following statements are true? Select all that apply.

If the equation were graphed, it would be a horizontal line.

Both functions have the same slope.

The origin is the y-intercept for the function expressed in the table.

The linear equation does not have a y-intercept.

The table and the graph express an equivalent function.

Answer 2

• Both functions have the same slope.
• The origin is the y-intercept for the function expressed in the table.
• The table and the graph express an equivalent function.

Explanation:

Both functions have the same slope

The slope is m in the equation; y =mx+c which is the formula for a straight line.

m = change in Y/change in x

Using 2 points: (1,3/4) and ( 4,3) from the table;

= (3 - 3/4) / ( 4 - 1)

= 2.25/3

= 0.75 which is 3/4 which is the same as the slope of the function in the equation.

The origin is the y-intercept for the function expressed in the table.

Slope of function in table is known to be 0.75. Find c to complete equation.

3 = 0.75 ( 4) + c

3 = 3 + c

c = 0

c is the y-intercept. The origin of a line is 0 so if c is 0 then the origin is the y intercept.

The table and the graph express an equivalent function.

The function for the table as calculated is;

y = 0.75x + 0

y = 0.75x

This is the same as the function for the equation for the graph which is y = 3/4x.
