Answer to Problem 53AYU
Solution:
d.
Or
e.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The given graph is
Calculation:
We know that a linear function is of the general form , where is the slope of the given function and is the which is the original value of the function when .
Equation of a vertical line is , where is any constant.
Equation of a horizontal line is .
From the given graph, we can see that it has a negative slope and is not a horizontal or a vertical line.
We can also notice that the of the graph is a positive number.
Therefore, from the given functions (a., (b. and (c. can be eliminated.
Thus, the linear function of this graph can either be functions
d.
Or
e.
