Which graph represents a linear function? a coordinate plane is shown with a way line beginning along the x axis and continuing along the graph. it curves up and down reaching y equals 1 and y equals negative 1 in a steady pattern along the horizontal axis a coordinate plane is shown with a parabola opening in a downward u shape. the vertex of the parabola is at y equals 7 point 5 and opening downward on either side of the y-axis from there a coordinate plane is shown with a line crossing through the y axis at negative 3 and the x axis at 2. a coordinate plane is shown with a line that begins to the left of the y axis passing through negative 1 comma negative 4, then curving right and passing through the y-axis at negative 4. it curves again and continues upward, passing through the x axis at around x equals 1.

The correct option is C) A coordinate plane is shown with a line crossing through the y axis at negative 3 and the x axis at 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

We need to determine the linear function.

The graph of a linear function is a straight line with no curves. The slope of a line can be a positive number or negative number.

Now consider the provided options:

Option A) A coordinate plane is shown with a way line beginning along the x axis and continuing along the graph. It curves up and down reaching y equals 1 and y equals negative 1 in a steady pattern along the horizontal axis.

This option is incorrect because it does not describe a straight line, as it consists curves.

Option B) A coordinate plane is shown with a parabola opening in a downward U shape. The vertex of the parabola is at y equals 7 point 5 and opening downward on either side of the y-axis from there.

This option is incorrect because describes a parabola which is the graph of a quadratic function.

Option C) A coordinate plane is shown with a line crossing through the y axis at negative 3 and the x axis at 2.

This is the correct answer because it describes a straight line that passes through the points (0 , - 3) and (2 , 0).

Option D) A coordinate plane is shown with a line that begins to the left of the y axis passing through negative 1 comma negative 4, then curving right and passing through the y-axis at negative 4. It curves again and continues upward, passing through the x axis at around x equals 1.

This option is incorrect because it does not describe a straight line, as it consists curves.

the correct answer is

c. 4

step-by-step explanation:

the given polynomial is

the degree of the polynomial is the highest exponent which is 4.

the -4 is called the leading coefficient.

this polynomial has only one term so it is a monomial.

the correct answer is option c.
