Question

What is the degree, type, leading coefficient, and constant term of `f(x)=-x+3`?

Answer 1

As explained below.

Explanation:

Linear equations are also called first degree equations, as the highest power of the variable (or pronumeral) in these equations is 1. E.g. x + 5 = 9 is an equation of the first degree, which is often called a linear equation

Given `f(x) = -x + 3`

`f(x) = (-1)(x)^1 + 3`

a. Degree of equation 1, since the highest x term has power 1.

b. Linear equation

c. Leading coefficient of the highest x term is -1 &

d. Constant term +3
