Laurel is a huge fan of hats, she likes all kinds of hats and recently started collecting them. She already owns 3 hats. She plans on buying a hat according to the season every month. Based on this information answer the following Questions. What is the linear function?

y=3+x

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are ever unsure about how to proceed with a math problem, one thing I find very helpful is to imagine the scenario and sub in the numbers. That's always helped me

At the very beginning, when

x=0, Laurel hasn't bought any new hats yet, she owns 3 hats, so y=3.

After the first month, when x=1, laurel owns 3 hats, plus the 1 hat she just bought. She now owns y=3+1  hats.

After the second month, when

x=2, laurel owns 3 hats, plus the 2

new hats she bought after she started collecting hats. She now owns y=3+2

hats.

Now, we can write the function.

y=3+x

"image"

step-by-step explanation:

in most of these problems, the notation is that the point with a "prime" is the image of the point without. that is, b' is the image of b.

here, there is no dilation or reflection. there is simply translation (with no direction shown). which figure you call the "preimage" and which one you call the "image" is up to you. as a matter of convention, the naming is as described above.
