What would the graph of y=3/4x-7/8 look like?

A. a straight line

B. a parabola

C. a curve

D. none of the above

A) A straight line.

This is so because the equation is of the first degree (the largest power of x is one). Thus making it a linear equation. The gradient in the equation here (3/4) shows that when you increase the value of x by 1, they value for y increases by 3/4. Since the increments are constant, you will see that the function is a straight line if you draw it.
