Analysis:
- The problem asks to match linear functions to their graphical representations.
- We need to analyze the slope and y-intercept of each function and compare them with the provided graphs.
Function 1: \( y = -\frac{3}{5}x + 3 \)
- Slope: \( m = -\frac{3}{5} \) (negative, so the line goes downwards from left to right).
- Y-intercept: \( b = 3 \) (the line crosses the y-axis at 3).
- Looking at the graphs, graph (A) has a negative slope and appears to cross the y-axis at 3.
Function 2: \( y = \frac{1}{5}x + 3 \)
- Slope: \( m = \frac{1}{5} \) (positive, so the line goes upwards from left to right).
- Y-intercept: \( b = 3 \) (the line crosses the y-axis at 3).
- Looking at the graphs, graph (L) has a positive slope and appears to cross the y-axis at 3.
Function 3: \( y = -3x \)
- Slope: \( m = -3 \) (steep negative slope).
- Y-intercept: \( b = 0 \) (the line passes through the origin).
- Looking at the graphs, graph (B) has a steep negative slope and passes through the origin.
Function 4: \( y = 3x \)
- Slope: \( m = 3 \) (steep positive slope).
- Y-intercept: \( b = 0 \) (the line passes through the origin).
- Looking at the graphs, graph (P) has a steep positive slope and passes through the origin.
Final Matching:
- 1 corresponds to A
- 2 corresponds to L
- 3 corresponds to B
- 4 corresponds to P
Answer: 1-A, 2-L, 3-B, 4-P
