We can graph the linear function using a table. First, select some arbitrary values from the domain, then substitute them for x in the given function. Solving for h(x) will give us the corresponding values from the range.
| x | h(x)=-3/4x-1 | Simplify |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | h( 0)=-3/4( 0)-1 | h(0)= -1 |
| 4 | h( 4)=-3/4( 4)-1 | h(4)= -4 |
| 8 | h( 8)=-3/4( 8)-1 | h(8)= -7 |
Using these x and h(x) values as ( x, h(x)) coordinate pairs, we can plot the points. Connecting these points will give us the graph of the function.
