Math Problem Statement

Using the graph, find f(0) and find x such that f(x)=−1.

Using the graph, find f(0) and find x such that f(x) = -1.

Solution

From the graph you've provided:

  1. To find f(0)f(0), you look at the value of yy when x=0x = 0. Observing the graph, f(0)f(0) occurs where the line crosses the y-axis, which is at y=4y = 4. So, f(0)=4f(0) = 4.

  2. To find xx such that f(x)=1f(x) = -1, locate the point on the y-axis where y=1y = -1 and determine the corresponding xx-value. In the graph, this occurs at x=6x = 6. Therefore, when f(x)=1f(x) = -1, x=6x = 6.

Let me know if you need any further details or have other questions about the graph or function!

Here are some related questions you might consider:

  1. Can you explain how the slope of the graph affects the values of f(x)f(x)?
  2. How would the graph change if f(0)f(0) was a different value?
  3. What would the equation of this line be based on the graph?
  4. How can the intercepts help in sketching the graph of a linear function?
  5. What are the implications of this function being increasing or decreasing?

Tip: When trying to find a specific f(x)f(x) value from a graph, always ensure to read the value precisely where the function line intersects with the corresponding y-value.
