Concept explainers
To find:
If the function shown in the graph as linear or nonlinear. Also to interpret its intercepts.
Answer to Problem 1GP
Yes, function shown is a linear function as it is a straight line shown. And its estimated x intercept in ordered pair form is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Below graph shows the temperature C of a medical sample thawed at a controlled rate:
Concept used:
Graph of a linear function is always a straight line and its equation is a one degree equation in two variables x and y as
Calculation:
Graph shows that it is a straight line, so it is a linear function of variable h . And as it passes from value 1 on x axis and value
Conclusion:
So, given function shown is surely a linear function as its graph is a line.
