function f(x) = 4x - 3? f(x) is the "y" value on the graph. So this is y= 4x-3 try a few points: if x is 0, what is y? any idea ?

I'm just really bad at graphs But i got B

OpenStudy (phi):

y= 4x-3 if x is 0, what is y? any idea ?

?

OpenStudy (phi):

do you know how to replace the x with 0: erase the x, and write in 0 in y = 4*x-3 then simplify. what do you get ?

OpenStudy (phi):

remember "order of operations" you do the multiply first, then the add or subtract.

jj found the answer: when x=0 you do y = 4*0 - 3 4 times 0 is 0, so y= 0-3 and that is y=-3 so (0,-3) is on the line. can yo find (0,-3) ? you put your finger on the x-axis (horizontal line) at 0 move down 3 steps. which line do you get to ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

line R

OpenStudy (jj123.33):

wouldnt it be line s
