Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's analyze the linear function and answer the questions from the image.
a) Integer coordinates of the y-intercept
The y-intercept occurs when . Substituting into the equation:
So, the y-intercept is .
b) Integer coordinates of the x-intercept
The x-intercept occurs when . Set the function equal to 0 and solve for :
So, the x-intercept is .
c) Domain of the function
The function is a linear function, which means it is defined for all real values of . Therefore, the domain is:
d) Range of the function
Since the function is linear and its graph is a straight line that extends infinitely in both directions, the range is also all real values:
e) Is the function increasing or decreasing?
The slope of the function is , which is positive. This means the function is increasing on its domain.
Would you like any further details or explanations? Here are five related questions you might want to explore:
- How do you graph linear functions on DESMOS?
- What is the effect of the slope on the steepness of a linear graph?
- How do you find the slope of a line given two points?
- How do domain and range differ for different types of functions?
- How does the behavior of a function change if the slope is negative?
Tip: Always check the sign of the slope to determine if a function is increasing or decreasing. A positive slope means the function increases, while a negative slope means it decreases.
