Math Problem Statement

{-3,-1,1,4}, y=3x-4

Solution

You are given the set of values for xx as {3,1,1,4}\{-3, -1, 1, 4\} and the equation y=3x4y = 3x - 4. Let's compute the corresponding yy-values for each xx.

Step-by-step calculations:

  1. For x=3x = -3: y=3(3)4=94=13y = 3(-3) - 4 = -9 - 4 = -13
  2. For x=1x = -1: y=3(1)4=34=7y = 3(-1) - 4 = -3 - 4 = -7
  3. For x=1x = 1: y=3(1)4=34=1y = 3(1) - 4 = 3 - 4 = -1
  4. For x=4x = 4: y=3(4)4=124=8y = 3(4) - 4 = 12 - 4 = 8

Final Results:

  • x=3x = -3, y=13y = -13
  • x=1x = -1, y=7y = -7
  • x=1x = 1, y=1y = -1
  • x=4x = 4, y=8y = 8

Would you like a detailed explanation of how the function behaves? Or do you have any specific questions about this?

Here are some related questions you might want to explore:

  1. What is the slope and y-intercept of the line y=3x4y = 3x - 4?
  2. How does the graph of y=3x4y = 3x - 4 look for other values of xx?
  3. Can you find the point where this line intersects the x-axis?
  4. What would happen if you changed the slope to a different value, say y=2x4y = 2x - 4?
  5. How can you determine if a point lies on this line?

Tip: The slope of a line tells you how much yy changes for each unit increase in xx. In this case, the slope is 3, meaning for every 1 unit increase in xx, yy increases by 3.
