Please help.
Use function notation to write the equation of the line. algebra unit 1 lesson 4 assessment question 1 A. f (x) = 2x – 1 B. f (x) = –½x – 1 C. f (x) = –2x + 1 D. f (x) = –2x – 1
There is the picture of the graph.
Well you can rule out option C because the y intercept is at -1 :)
ok
Do you know how to find slope?
ya but there are no points
Yes there are! There arent any points that have been made but the line does intersect the graph on certain points! :) look closely. like at (1, -3)
There is also a point at (0,-1) so try and go from (1,-3) to (0,-1). what is the slope that you got?
Yea but how about (1,1) and (-2,3)
Not (1,1) but (-1,1) is a point! and yes (-2,3) is a point too. you can choose any 2 points to find the slope! :)
and if I choose any points, will I get the same answer?
yup! Test it out. what is the slope between (-1,1) and (-2,3)? Then see what the slope is between (1,-3) and (0,-1)
Ok thanx alot!
I mean you cant skip a point, but if you just go from one point to the nearest point you will always get the same slope! Yeah no problem :) the answer should be B :)
BTW i love Rick riordan's books!! i have read the percy series and the kane chronicles and everything! :)
