Math Problem Statement

f(x)= − 3 2 ​ x+14

Solution

The function you've given is:

f(x)=32x+14f(x) = -\frac{3}{2}x + 14

This is a linear function in slope-intercept form, f(x)=mx+bf(x) = mx + b, where:

  • m=32m = -\frac{3}{2} is the slope of the line.
  • b=14b = 14 is the y-intercept of the line.

Key Features:

  1. Slope: The slope 32-\frac{3}{2} indicates that for every 2 units increase in xx, f(x)f(x) decreases by 3 units. The negative sign shows that the line is decreasing.
  2. Y-intercept: The line crosses the y-axis at (0,14)(0, 14).

Graph of the Function:

If you were to graph this function, it would be a straight line that crosses the y-axis at 1414 and has a slope of 32-\frac{3}{2}.

Would you like a graph of this function or further details on any specific part?
