Select the correct answer.

Which function has the same graph as [tex]x + y = 11[/tex]?

A. [tex]f(x) = -y + 11[/tex]
B. [tex]f(x) = -x + 11[/tex]
C. [tex]f(x) = x - 11[/tex]
D. [tex]f(x) = y - 11[/tex]



Answer :

Let's take a detailed look at the given equation and options to determine which function has the same graph as [tex]\( x + y = 11 \)[/tex].

We'll start by manipulating the equation [tex]\( x + y = 11 \)[/tex] to find an equivalent function in the form [tex]\( y = f(x) \)[/tex].

1. The original equation is:
[tex]\[ x + y = 11 \][/tex]

2. To express [tex]\( y \)[/tex] as a function of [tex]\( x \)[/tex], we need to isolate [tex]\( y \)[/tex]. Subtract [tex]\( x \)[/tex] from both sides of the equation:
[tex]\[ y = 11 - x \][/tex]

3. Now, we have the function:
[tex]\[ y = 11 - x \][/tex]

This function [tex]\( y = 11 - x \)[/tex] can be written as [tex]\( f(x) = 11 - x \)[/tex]. Another equivalent way to express this function is [tex]\( f(x) = -x + 11 \)[/tex].

Now let's examine the options given in the question to determine which matches [tex]\( f(x) = -x + 11 \)[/tex]:

A. [tex]\( f(x) = -y + 11 \)[/tex]

This does not match our derived function.

B. [tex]\( f(x) = -x + 11 \)[/tex]

This matches our derived function [tex]\( f(x) = 11 - x \)[/tex].

C. [tex]\( f(x) = x - 11 \)[/tex]

This does not match our derived function.

D. [tex]\( f(x) = y - 11 \)[/tex]

This does not match our derived function.

Thus, the function that has the same graph as [tex]\( x + y = 11 \)[/tex] is:

B. [tex]\( f(x) = -x + 11 \)[/tex]
