Find the gradient of the line on which the points (1,3) and (3,4) lie and find the y-coordinate of the line at x = 7.

The gradient is m = (y1-y0)/(x1-x0) = (4-3)/(3-1) = 1/2. So the equation of the line is y= x/2 + c where c is a constant. To find the constant, c, we will input one of the given coordinates (1,3). This sh...

It seems like f(x+2) should translate the graph y=f(x) 2 to the right, it is +2 inside the bracket after all? However, if we think of the translation as actually subbing in x+2 into the equation y=f(x), i...
