Question

Identify one similarity and one difference between the graph of y = 2x + 4 and the graph of y= -1/2x+4

Answer 1

See below.

Explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the equation of a line.

y = mx + b

m = slope; b = y-intercept

The two equations in this problem:

y = 2x + 4

y = -1/2x + 4

Similarity: Both y-intercepts are the same. They are 4.

y = 2x + 4

y = -1/2x + 4

Difference: The slopes are different. They are 2 and -1/2.

Answer 2

One difference would be the slope of the lines. One similarity would be where the lines cross the y-axis.

Explanation:

This can be seen when we use the equation y=mx+b. m stands for the slope of the line and b stands for where the line is going to cross the y-axis.

I hope this helps.
