Question

Which function has the greatest starting value?

A.
x y
1 1
2 3
3 5


B.
y = −7x – 8

C.
5x + 15y = −30

Answer 1

where do you start, all seem to cover all real numbers for x values

Answer 2

i don't get what the question is asking

Answer 3

probably the y-intercept, when the x value is zero

Answer 4

which has the greatest y value when x=0

Answer 5

none

Answer 6

wait maybe c?

Answer 7

all 4 of them cross the y axis and have a value there,
the graph looks like y=-5 for x=0, point (x,y) = (0,-5)

For B and C, let X=0 and solve for that Y value oneach...

Make a linear equation for A using 2 points from the table to get the slope, and use point-slope form for the line, then let x=0 and solve for that Y value...

one of the 4 has the largest y value

Answer 8

so is it c?

Answer 9

C) For X=0, the y value will be

5*0 + 15y = −30
15y=-30
y=-2

greater value than the graph has, check the other 2 answers

Answer 10

for D) it has a Y intercept of -5 right?
