make a linear function

where the input(x): a number
output(y): 7 more than 9 times x

1 answer

To create a linear function where the output \( y \) is 7 more than 9 times the input \( x \), you can express it with the equation:

\[ y = 9x + 7 \]

In this function:

  • The coefficient of \( x \) (which is 9) represents the slope of the line.
  • The constant term (which is 7) represents the y-intercept, indicating that when \( x = 0 \), \( y = 7 \).
