Exercise 27 Page 125

Substituting values from the domain will give the corresponding values from the range.

Practice makes perfect
We can graph the linear function using a table. First, let's select some arbitrary values from the domain, then substitute them for x in the given function. Solving for g(x) will give us the corresponding values from the range.
x g(x)=-4+7x Simplify
0 g( 0)=-4+7( 0) g(0)= -4
1 g( 1)=-4+7( 1) g(1)= 3
2 g( 2)=-4+7( 2) g(2)= 10

Using these x and g(x) values as ( x, g(x)) coordinate pairs, we can plot the points. Connecting these points will give us the graph of the function.
