[tex]x[/tex]Answer:
The answer would be [tex]f(x)=2x-6[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is basically asking for the slope intercept form and [tex]f(x)[/tex] is equal to [tex]y[/tex]. So after we have figured that out we would have to know what the slope intercept form is, slope intercept form is simply [tex]y=mx+b[/tex]. In the equation [tex]m[/tex] will equal the slope or the rise over run and [tex]b[/tex] will equal the y-intercept and that is all we need to solve this equation.
If we look at the graph we will see that the line crosses the y axis at the point (0,-6) so knowing that we will remember that [tex]b[/tex] is the y-intercept is where the line crosses the y axis and in this case it is crossing it at -6 so if we plug that into the equation we will get [tex]y=mx-6[/tex].
Now we will find the slope or [tex]m[/tex]. First we will see the distance between the 2 points on the graph, if we count we will have to go up 6 to get to (0,0) and we will go right 3 so we know that slope is rise over run so you would go up or rise 6 and go right or run 3 so we would get [tex]\frac{6}{3}[/tex] as our slope, but we could simplify this to just 2 so we would get [tex]2x[/tex] as our [tex]mx[/tex].
We have solved all of the parts and now we can put it together. So first we would do f of x or [tex]f(x)[/tex] which means function and than we would put [tex]2x[/tex] and finally we would put our [tex]-6[/tex]. When we put that all together we would get [tex]f(x)=2x-6[/tex].
To check you could just graph this and you would get:
P.S. The f(x) turned into a y in the process:)
