Math Problem Statement
Solution
The given problem asks to graph the linear function and to determine its domain and range. The function provided is:
1. Graphing the Linear Function
The equation is in the slope-intercept form, , where:
- is the slope of the line.
- is the y-intercept (where the line crosses the y-axis).
Steps to graph:
- Start at the y-intercept .
- Use the slope (which means for every 1 unit you move to the right, you move 5 units down) to plot additional points.
- Connect the points to form the line.
2. Domain and Range
-
Domain: Since this is a linear function, the domain is all real numbers, because you can plug any -value into the function.
-
Range: Similarly, the range is also all real numbers, because the line extends infinitely in both vertical directions as increases or decreases.
Would you like further details, such as a graph or more explanation on how the slope works?
Here are 5 related questions to expand on this:
- What are the key features of a linear function in slope-intercept form?
- How does changing the slope affect the steepness of the line?
- How do you find the x-intercept of a linear function?
- What is the significance of the y-intercept in real-world applications?
- How can linear functions be used to model real-world scenarios?
Tip: When graphing a line, always start with the y-intercept and use the slope to determine the direction and steepness of the line.
