Question

Interpret the equation y=-4x+10. What type of function does this equation define?
This is a linear function. Its graph is a straight line with a slope of -4 and a y-intercept of 10

Answer 1

. The slope of -4 means that for every increase of 1 in x, y decreases by 4. The y-intercept of 10 is the point where x=0, so the graph crosses the y-axis at (0,10).
