The line graph shown below represents the number of TVs in a house by the square footage (in hundreds of feet). According to the information
We see that the slope is moving upward. This shows that with the increase in square footage of the house, there is increase in the number of TV. So 'y' would increase with an increase in 'x'.
Eg: Equation from the next question
y = 1 + 5x or y = 3x - 6
The linear equation is the equation where the highest power of the variable is '1' and there is no other function like log or exp.
Therefore all the linear equations are
y = 2 - x
y = 1 + 5x
y = 3x - 6
not that line which has x^2 because , when the highest power is '2'.
any doubts please ask !
