y=-3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

>.> I knew that. It is C or D

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

what is the y-intercept?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is problem again? you know the equation. what are they asking for?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A.f(x)=3 B.f(x)0.3x C.f(x)=-3 D.f(x)=-3x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which shows the equation of the line using function notation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how can the answer be D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you know the equation is y=-3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no matter how we change x the graph doesnt change, am I right? what does this mean

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this means the equation doesnt depend on x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But what happens to the x?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

what is the slope of the line?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

every equation doesnt necessarily have to contain x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Slope is -3?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

does the line slope at all?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh wait no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it is C right? it is just -3?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

we say a horizontal line has a slope of zero, so the x term gets multiplied by zero

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which becomes nothing?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

yeah so y(x)=mx+b m=0, so f(x)= (0)x+b = 0+b = b where b is the y-intercept

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which is -3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which is C right? :>

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

yess
