Example Create a function machine for the equation 6 j + 7 = 43. 6 j means 6 × j, so j has been multiplied by 6. Then 7 has been added. The answer is 43.

Figure 2 shows a plot of output (y ) versus the input (x ) of the system. A system with a constant k factor has a straight line or linear characteristic. A plot that isn't a straight line is termed ...
