What is the range of the following function?

  1. The rate of increase of y with respect to x

  2. The x-intercept of the graph

  3. The y-intercept of the graph

  4. The rate of decrease of y with respect to x

The correct answer is: The y-intercept of the graph

The coefficient b represents the rate at which the linear term (bx) changes as x increases. This means that b is equal to the slope of the line formed by the linear term and it represents the rate of change of y with respect to x. Therefore, option A is incorrect. The x-intercept of the graph is the value of x when y is equal to 0. This point is where the graph intersects with the x-axis. The x-intercept is typically calculated by setting y = 0 in the equation and solving for x. In the given equation, when y = 0, the resulting value of x will not be equal to the coefficient b. Therefore, option B is incorrect. Similarly, the y-intercept of the graph is the value of y when x is equal to 0. This point is where the graph intersects with the y-axis. In the
