Math Problem Statement

 $g(x)=-4+7x$g(x)=−4+7x​ 

Solution

The function you've provided is g(x)=4+7xg(x) = -4 + 7x.

This is a linear function, where:

  • The slope (or rate of change) is 77,
  • The y-intercept (the value of g(x)g(x) when x=0x = 0) is 4-4.

Key Points:

  • Slope: 77 means for every increase of 1 unit in xx, g(x)g(x) increases by 7.
  • Y-intercept: The point where the function crosses the y-axis is at (0,4)(0, -4).

Would you like me to graph this function or dive into more details about interpreting or transforming this function?


Here are 5 related questions:

  1. How do you find the slope of a linear function?
  2. What does the y-intercept represent in a graph?
  3. How do you determine if a function is increasing or decreasing?
  4. How do you solve for xx when g(x)=0g(x) = 0?
  5. How can you shift or transform a linear function?

Tip: To solve for xx in any equation, set the function equal to a value (like zero) and solve for xx.
