(j) Is f left parenthesis 3 right parenthesispositive or negative?

Give the slope and y-intercept of the line whose equation is given below. Then graph the linear function.

Use the given conditions to write an equation for the line in point-slope form and in slope-intercept form.

Find the average rate of change of the function

Use the graph of y =f (x) to graph the function

Begin by graphing the absolute value function, f (x)=|x|. Then use transformations of this graph to graph the given function.

For f(x)=x+4 and g(x)=2x+1, find the following functions.
