A student says that all linear functions are either increasing or
decreasing. Do you agree? Explain.

do you have the measurements?

-7/8

step-by-step explanation:

instead of subtracting you add the -6/8 and -1/8

this equation is in point-slope form.

where,

using this equation you can gather a point and the slope, which gives you enough information to draw a line. transform the equation to standard form to start.

the equation is now in standard form, we have a point, as well as the slope:

point: (0, -6)

slope: -2

plot (0,-6), then simply rise/run with the provided slope of -2, once you feel you have a comfortable amount of points - draw a line.

the terms in pattern b are 4 times the terms in pattern a
