For the linear function f(x) = -2x+1 , find the following a. Slope and Y-intercept.
b. Is the function increasing, decreasing, or constant, justify your answer.
c. Graph the function, label x, and y-intercepts.

Given:

The function is:

To find:

a. Slope and Y-intercept.

b. Is the function increasing, decreasing, or constant, justify your answer.

c. Graph the function, label x, and y-intercepts.

Solution:

a. We have,

                 ...(i)

The slope intercept form of a line is:

                   ...(ii)

Where, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

On comparing (i) and (ii), we get

Therefore, the slope of the line is -2 and the y-intercept is 1.

b. If the slope of a linear function is negative, then the function is decreasing.

If the slope of a linear function is positive, then the function is increasing.

If the slope of a linear function is 0, then the function is constant.

The slope of the linear function is negative.

Therefore, the function is decreasing.

c. We have,

At , we get

So, the y-intercept is at (0,1).

At , we get

So, the x-intercept is at .

image result for what is another name for consecutive interior angles? ​

when two lines are crossed by another line (called the transversal): the pairs of angles on one side of the transversal but inside the two lines are called consecutive interior angles. in this example, these are consecutive interior angles: d and f.
