The graph of a function must be linear if it has what characteristic?

Given the equation y − 4 = three fourths(x + 8) in point-slope form, identify the equation of the same line in standard form. −three fourthsx + y = 10 3x − 4y = −40 y = three fourthsx + 12 y = three fourthsx + 10

Adecibel is a logarithmic unit that can be used to measure the intensity of a sound. the function y = 10logx gives the intensity of a sound in decibels, where x is the ratio of the intensity of the sound to a reference intensity. the reference intensity is generally set at the threshold of hearing. use the graphing utility to graph the decibel function.a whisper has a sound intensity of 30 decibels. use your graph to you complete the following statement. the sound intensity of a whisper is times the reference intensity.

Ijust need these 2 questions answered (the second pic is just confirmation i'm not confident in that answer)
