Jeremy claims that if a linear function has a slope of the same steepness and the same y-intercept as the linear function in the graph, then it must be the same function.

On a coordinate plane, a line goes through points (0, negative 1) and (2, 0).

Which equation is a counterexample to Jeremy’s argument?
y = negative one-half x minus 1
y = negative one-half x + 1
y = one-half x minus 1
y = one-half x + 1

On a coordinate plane, a line (y = ax + b) goes through points (0, -1) and (2, 0), we thus have:

Slope a = (0 - -1)/(2 - 0) = 1/2

Otherwise, y-intercept (0, -1) => b = -1

=> y = (1/2)x  - 1

Hope this helps!

correct answer is b. 27/8

step-by-step explanation:

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:   x (x+6)^2, choice b

discussion:

factor x out of the equation:

x^3 + 12x^2 + 36x = x (x^2 + 12x + 36).

note that 6+6 = 12 and 6*6 = 36 so the above factors into:

x (x+6)^2

which is choice b
