Math Problem Statement

f(x)= 2/3x+1

Solution

The function you provided is f(x)=23x+1f(x) = \frac{2}{3}x + 1. This is a linear function of the form f(x)=mx+bf(x) = mx + b, where:

  • m=23m = \frac{2}{3} is the slope of the line.
  • b=1b = 1 is the y-intercept of the line, which is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

Key Features of the Function:

  1. Slope: The slope 23\frac{2}{3} indicates that for every increase of 1 unit in xx, the value of f(x)f(x) increases by 23\frac{2}{3}. This represents a gradual upward incline.

  2. Y-Intercept: The line crosses the y-axis at the point (0, 1).

  3. Graph: The graph is a straight line with a positive slope, slanting upwards from left to right.

  4. Domain and Range:

    • Domain: All real numbers (xRx \in \mathbb{R}).
    • Range: All real numbers (f(x)Rf(x) \in \mathbb{R}).
  5. Behavior: The function is increasing since the slope is positive.

Would you like a detailed explanation of any aspect, or perhaps a graph?

Related Questions:

  1. What is the x-intercept of the function f(x)=23x+1f(x) = \frac{2}{3}x + 1?
  2. How does changing the slope affect the graph of a linear function?
  3. How would the function change if the y-intercept was different?
  4. Can you determine the rate of change between any two points on this line?
  5. What is the significance of the slope in real-world applications?

Tip: Always remember, the slope tells you how steep a line is, and the y-intercept shows where the line crosses the y-axis!
