Question

Which of the following represents the graph of the equation y = 5x – 4?

Answer 1

which way would the line go?

Answer 2

Okay, let's convert it into a function.

Answer 3

ok

Answer 4

f(x) = 5x - 4
We can do this because y = f(x).

Answer 5

Now you need to choose two values for x. What would you like to use?

Answer 6

i dont know wat u mean?

Answer 7

Pick two numbers between 1 and 10.

Answer 8

3 and 8

Answer 9

It has a slope of 5/1 and at the b intersect, which is -4 go to the b intersect and then rise 5 and run 1. That will be your line

Answer 10

Okay, cool.
f(x) = 5x - 4
Let x = 3
f(3) = 5(3) - 4
Let x = 8
f(8) = 5(8) - 4

Answer 12

Dustin, would you like me to explain how to do it, or would you rather use his answer?

Answer 13

that
is not my answer anyways

Answer 14

I figured.

Answer 15

yes

Answer 16

jcpd I am not giving answer but explaining to the person one way to solve the problem

Answer 17

Okay, back to what I was saying.

Answer 18

f(x) = 5x - 4
Let x = 3
f(3) = 5(3) - 4
Let x = 8
f(8) = 5(8) - 4

Answer 19

So now you have to solve the equations. Do you know how to do that?

Answer 20

@Dustin15

Answer 21

how do you know what y is?

Answer 22

We're solving for y. :)

Answer 23

Remember y = f(x)

Answer 24

you do know i am graphing right?

Answer 25

So when we solve for f(3) and f(8) we are solving for y when x equals 3 and when x equals 8

Answer 26

You are graphing a line.

Answer 27

Trust me. :D

Answer 28

f(3) = 5(3) - 4
f(3) = 15 - 4 {multiply 5 by 3}
f(3) = 11 {subtract 4 from 15}
y = 11
So when x = 3, y = 11.
Therefor, an ordered pair on this line is:
(3,11)

Answer 29

Want me to help you find the next ordered pair?

Answer 30

He explains it well.
