5. What is the range of the function y = 2x – 4?

The domain is how far left and right it goes on a graph, and the range is how far up and down it goes on a graph. Because this equation is linear (if you graphed it, it would be in a straight line), both the domain and range are infinity, because it keeps going up and to the right, the larger X gets, and smaller and to the left, the more negative X gets.

graph is linear:

y=2x-4

solve for x=o

y=2x0-4       Eliminate 0

y=-4             solved for y

solve for y=0

0=2x-4          add 4

+4      +4

4=2x             divide by 2

/2    /2

4/2 =x

2=x               solved for x

calculate the slope

Solve for x=1

y=2x1-4

y=2-4

y=2             solved for y

Calculating the slope

      y                -y

a= x=1      x=0     =2

            1

The graph is

(0, -4)  (2, 0)
