The problem's formulation is EXTREMELY wrong and inaccurate, or better to say, MAKES NO SENSE.


Why ? --- Because "A linear function that represents the number of video games purchased at an electronics store"
is a fictitious fantasy: there is NO SUCH A FUNCTION.


"the number of video games purchased at an electronics store" is the NUMBER and IS NOT a function.
