Question
For the linear function f, the graph of y = f(x) in the xy -plane passes through the points (0, 2) and (2, 6). Which equation defines f ?
The correct answer is:
If a graph of a linear function passes through some points , then the function of the graph must satisfy with the points, viz. and so on.
Explanations:
Step 1 of 3:
For the linear function , the graph of in the -plane passes through the points and .
Consider the equation given in option C, .
Step 2 of 3:
Now, putting , we get
Thus, satisfies the equation .
Step 3 of 3:
Now, putting , we get
Thus, also satisfies the equation .
So, and both satisfy the equation .
Final Answer:
The equation defines — y = 2x + 2 .
