What representations describe a linear function?
To solve this problem, we need to determine which representations describe a linear function by analyzing each given choice:
- Choice 1: y=1−2x
- This is in the form y=mx+b, where m=−2 and b=1, making it a linear function.
- Choice 2: y=−2x2+x
- The term x2 indicates a quadratic polynomial, which is not linear due to the power of 2 on x.
- Choice 3: y=x
- In the form y=mx+b, it is y=1x+0, with m=1 and b=0, thus a linear function.
- Choice 4: Asserts that both Choice 1 and Choice 3 are correct, which aligns with our analysis.
Based on this examination, choices forming linear functions are ones where the equation stays in the standard linear form y=mx+b with no additional exponents or variable products. Thus, the correct answer is:
