Graph f(x)=5x

Problem

ƒ(x)=5*x

Solution

1. Identify the type of function. The function ƒ(x)=5*x is a linear function in the form ƒ(x)=m*x+b

2. Determine the slope and y-intercept. The slope m is 5 and the y-intercept b is 0 meaning the line passes through the origin (0,0)

3. Calculate a second point to determine the direction. If x=1 then ƒ(1)=5*(1)=5 giving the point (1,5)

4. Plot the points (0,0) and (1,5) on a coordinate plane.

5. Draw a straight line passing through these points to represent the function.

Final Answer

ƒ(x)=5*x
