Question

Which of the following has a graph that is a straight line?

Equation 1: y = 4x^3 + 6
Equation 2: y = 5x − 4.5
Equation 3: y^2 = x − 1
Equation 4: y = 2x^2 + 6

Answer 1

2

Answer 2

Equation 2 if you would like to know why let me know.

Answer 3

plz tell me why

Answer 4

Okay, so for every other equation something is being raised to an expoenent, when something is being raised to an exponent this means that the line will be curved to a degree like this.

Answer 5

And if its under a radical then thats a whole different story.

Answer 6

Thats it.

Answer 7

Medal or fan???

Answer 8

oh and i have one more question if you don't mind

Answer 9

Go aheda i'll help if i understand it

Answer 10

ahead*

Answer 11

Which statement best explains whether y = 4x + 8 is a linear function or a nonlinear function?

It is a linear function because the graph contains the points (8, 0), (12, 1), (16, 2), which are on a straight line.
It is a nonlinear function because the graph contains the points (8, 0), (12, 1), (16, 2), which are not on a straight line.
It is a linear function because the graph contains the points (0, 8), (1, 12), (2, 16), which are on a straight line.
It is a nonlinear function because the graph contains the points (0, 8), (1, 12), (2, 16)

Answer 12

One moment let me graph this.

Answer 13

first off do you know how to graph it??

Answer 14

kk

Answer 15

a little bit

Answer 16

Okay what is the slope in this case? and what is the y-intercept?

Answer 17

remember y=mx+b m being the slope and b, being the y-intercept.

Answer 18

No, here ill graph it so you can better understand it, the y-intercept is the b

Answer 19

i know it your y-intercept is 8

Answer 20

https://www.desmos.com/calculator

Answer 21

yes your y-intercept is 8

Answer 22

i don't see anything on the website

Answer 23

how do you even use this graphing calculator

Answer 24

plug in your equation.

Answer 25

the whole thing

Answer 26

remember slope is rise over run, so you would start at positive 8 to graph this then go down 4 left 1 or up 4 right 1

Answer 27

Yes

Answer 28

now what do i do after i have plugged in the equation

Answer 29

Okay i have your answer, but i wont give it to you yet.

Answer 30

So, tell me does your graph have any repeating x coordinates??

Answer 31

no

Answer 32

no, is correct and what does this mean?

Answer 33

is it a function or nonfunction?

Answer 34

that it is a linear function

Answer 35

Correct. now between your first choice and third choice which one do you think is corect? based of the information it tells you

Answer 36

Your third choice would be correct.

Answer 37

anything else?

Answer 38

it is number three

Answer 39

Yep your right,

Answer 40

let me check if there is anything else that i need help with k

Answer 41

Alright ill be here

Answer 42

i am going to close this question and open a new one k

Answer 43

Alright.
