The statement comparing the function is ![y = - \frac{1}{25} x + 15.8](/tpl/images/0660/3141/01e3a.png)
Step-by-step explanation:
First thing to do is generate equation for Z
We have that
at ![x_1 = 0](/tpl/images/0660/3141/fa958.png)
![i.e \ S(x_1 , y_1) = S(0,15.8)](/tpl/images/0660/3141/a76b2.png)
and at ![x_2 = 1](/tpl/images/0660/3141/99cd5.png)
Now y = m x + c
m is the slope which is mathematically represented as
![m = \frac{15.76 - 15.8}{1 -0}](/tpl/images/0660/3141/69704.png)
![m =- 0.04](/tpl/images/0660/3141/faec8.png)
So the equation of the line is mathematically represented as
![y - y_1 = m (x -x_1)](/tpl/images/0660/3141/49542.png)
![y - 15.8 = m (x -0)](/tpl/images/0660/3141/ebedb.png)
![y = -0.04 x + 15.8](/tpl/images/0660/3141/588ff.png)
![y = - \frac{1}{25} x + 15.8](/tpl/images/0660/3141/01e3a.png)
![Functions W and Z are both linear functions of x. Function z Function W x + 30 15.8 15.76 15.72 15.6](/tpl/images/0660/3141/83bc6.jpg)
