Chapter 8.8, Problem 6OE

To determine

To find: Theslope and the y -intercept of the graph of the linear function.

Answer to Problem 6OE

The slope of the graph is $0$ and the $y$ -intercept is $5$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The given function is,

  $f\left(x\right)=5$

Concept used:

The standard equation for the linear function cab be written as,

  $y=mx+b$

Here, the slope of the graph is $m$ and the $y$ -intercept is $b$ .

The given function is,

  $\begin{array}{c}f\left(x\right)=5\\ =0x+5\end{array}$

The standard equation for the linear function cab be written as,

  $y=mx+b$

Here, the slope of the graph is $m$ and the $y$ -intercept is $b$ .

Compare both the equation to obtain,

  $\begin{array}{l}m=0\\ b=5\end{array}$

Thus, the slope of the graph is $0$ and the $y$ -intercept is $5$ .
