Question

what type of function is \\(y = 15x\\)?

a. quadratic
b. exponential
c. linear
d. cubic

Explanation:

Identify the function form

The given function is:

$$y = 15x$$

Analyze the degree of the function

The variable \(x\) is raised to the power of 1:

$$y = 15x^1$$

A polynomial function of degree 1 is a linear function.

Match with the given options

Comparing the function type to the choices:

• a. Quadratic (degree 2)
• b. Exponential (variable in exponent)
• c. Linear (degree 1)
• d. Cubic (degree 3)

Therefore, the function is linear.

Answer:

• a. Quadratic
• b. Exponential
• c. Linear (Correct answer)
• d. Cubic
