To solve the function g(x)=−x+17, we need to know what you're solving for. Here are a few common interpretations:
Find when g(x)=0g (x) = 0
This means solving the equation:
0=−x+17
Add x to both sides:
x=17
Graph the function
This is a linear function in slope-intercept form:
g(x)=−x+17
- Slope: -1
- Y-intercept: 17
It’s a straight line that decreases as x increases.
Enjoy!
