If a function is given in the form of [tex]y=mx+b[/tex],
it's a linear function with,
[tex]m=[/tex] Slope of the line
[tex]b=[/tex] y-intercept
It's given in the question that,
- Equation representing the relationship between the number of apples and the number of slices as,
[tex]y=9x[/tex]
Here, y = Number of slices
x = Number of apples
For the given linear equation,
Slope of the line 'm' = 9
y-intercept of the line = 0
Since, y-intercept of the line is zero, line will pass through the origin (0, 0).
From graph (2),
Slope of the line = [tex]\frac{\text{Rise}}{\text{Run}}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{9}{1}[/tex]
= 9
y-intercept of the line = 0
Therefore, graph (2) (from the left) will show the relationship between the number of slices and the number of apples.
