Question
Given the equation $y=4 x-3,$ answer the following questions:a. If $x$ increases by 1 unit, what is the corresponding change in $y ?$b. If $x$ decreases by 2 units, what is the corresponding change in $y ?$
Step 1
This means that for every unit increase in $x$, $y$ will increase by 4 units. Similarly, for every unit decrease in $x$, $y$ will decrease by 4 units. Show more…
