Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Linear function
Formula used:
Calculation:
Graph the function
A linear function of x
Where m is a slope and (0, b) is y intercept represents the line.
Compare the function with this general equation, it signifies
To sketch the line, initially plot y intercept
Plot it and draw line passing through these two points as shown below
The graph of the linear function is,
Conclusion:
The graph is decreasing on the negative axis.
