I dont understand what plots to point [sic] --> points to plot, I think. the question is graph f(x) = 3 and another problem is graph f(x) = 2x. I have to plot the points and determine the slope of the graph \n" ); document.write( "============ \n" ); document.write( "f(x) = 3 \n" ); document.write( "f(x) is y, the vertical axis usually. \n" ); document.write( "For any x, y = 3 \n" ); document.write( "eg, (0,3), (3,3), (100,3) \n" ); document.write( "The slope is diffy/diffx. y is not changing, so diffy = 0 \n" ); document.write( "Slope = 0 \n" ); document.write( "=============================== \n" ); document.write( "f(x) = 2x \n" ); document.write( "y = 2x \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "It's a straight line. \n" ); document.write( "Pick 2 values for x and find y. \n" ); document.write( "eg, x = 0 --> y = 0 \n" ); document.write( "x = 2 --> y = 4 \n" ); document.write( "Plot (0,0) and (2,4) \n" ); document.write( "Draw a line thru them. \n" ); document.write( "-------- \n" ); document.write( "Slope = diffy/diffx = (4-0)/(2-0) = 2 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
