The function f is defined by f(x) = 9/2 x + 1. What is the slope of the graph of y = f(x) in the xy-plane?
A) -9/2
B) -2/9
C) 2/9
D) 9/2
Solution
Correct answer: D) 9/2.
The slope of a function f(x) is given by the coefficient of 𝑥 in the equation representing the function. In this case, the function is 𝑓(𝑥) =9/2 𝑥 + 1 so the coefficient of 𝑥 = 9/2.
