Math Problem Statement

Complete the table and then graph the function. y= 1

5 x x y 0 5 10 Click to select points on the graph.

Solution

To complete the table and graph the function y=15xy = \frac{1}{5}x, we'll first calculate the value of yy for each given value of xx.

Step 1: Calculate the yy-values

Given the function y=15xy = \frac{1}{5}x:

  • When x=0x = 0: y=15×0=0y = \frac{1}{5} \times 0 = 0
  • When x=5x = 5: y=15×5=1y = \frac{1}{5} \times 5 = 1
  • When x=10x = 10: y=15×10=2y = \frac{1}{5} \times 10 = 2

Completed Table

x & y \\ \hline 0 & 0 \\ 5 & 1 \\ 10 & 2 \\ \end{array}$$ ### Step 2: Graph the Function The points to plot on the graph are: - $$(0, 0)$$ - $$(5, 1)$$ - $$(10, 2)$$ These points should form a straight line since the equation is linear. The line will have a slope of $$\frac{1}{5}$$. Would you like a detailed explanation of the graphing process, or do you have any other questions? ### Related Questions: 1. What is the slope of the function $$y = \frac{1}{5}x$$ and how is it interpreted? 2. How would the graph change if the function were $$y = \frac{2}{5}x$$ instead? 3. How do you find the $$y$$-intercept of a linear function? 4. What happens to the graph if you shift it up by 2 units? 5. How would you graph the function $$y = -\frac{1}{5}x$$? **Tip:** When graphing linear functions, always start by identifying key points like the $$y$$-intercept and another point on the line to ensure accuracy.
