Question

On the same graph, plot the two functions

f(p) = 1/2(p+5) -4 and
f(p) =1/3(2p-1).

Include appropriate labels.

Answer 1

I would suggest replacing f(p) with y and p with x to begin with. Then use your favorite method of plotting lines to plot each. The y axis would be labeled f(p) and the x axis would be labeled p.

Answer 2

thanks a lot!

Answer 3

would this be correct for the first equation?

Answer 4

There are several ways to plot lines, using the slope and the y-intercept from the slope intercept form of the equation, a point an the slope from the point slope form or simply making a table. You can use which ever one you are most comfortable with.

Answer 5

Looks good!

Answer 6

Don't forget your labels in the final answer.

Answer 7

thank you!
