Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (3, 6) and (4, 10) using function notation. (5 points)


f(x) = 4x − 6
f(x) = x + 4
y = x + 4
y = 4x − 6

Respuesta :

The slope = (10-6) / (4-3) = 4


using the general equation y - y1 = m(x - x1) where m = slope and (x1,y1) is a point on the line, we have:-


y - 6 = 4(x - 3)

y = 4x - 12 + 6


y = 4x - 6 (answer)

The correct answer is option A. f(x) = 4x - 6.

Equation of the line

Given:

The line passes through the points (3, 6) and (4, 10).

To find:

the equation of the line that passes through the points (3, 6) and (4, 10) utilizing the function notation.

Let, [tex](x_{1}, y_{1} )[/tex] = (3,6) and [tex](x_{2}, y_{2} )[/tex] =(4,10)

[tex]$m=(y 2-y 1) /(x 2-x 1)[/tex]

[tex]$=(10-6) /(4-3)[/tex]

[tex]=4 / 1[/tex]

[tex]=4[/tex]

Where, equation of the line

y = mx + b

y = 4x + b

Consider any one of the points (x, y) = (3, 6) or (x, y) = (4, 10).

Take, (x, y) = (3, 6)

y = mx + b

Substituting the values of x and y

[tex]$6=4 * 3+b$[/tex]

Simplifying the equation as

[tex]$6-12=b[/tex]

[tex]$b=-6[/tex]

The equation of line, y = mx + b

y = 4x - 6

Therefore, the correct answer is option A. f(x) = 4x - 6.
