Question

HELP PLEASE !

Consider the graph of the linear function hy
5. Which could you change to move the graph down 3 uns?
the value of b to-3
the value of m to -3
the value of b to 2
the value of m to 2

Answer 1

b=2

Explanation:

Changing the y-intercept would move the graph down or up.

So we have the equation
`y=(-2)/(3)x+5`.

We want to move the graph down 3 units. We want the y-intercept to be 3 units lower than what is was. Since 5-3 is 2, then the new y-intercept is 2.

The equation would then be
`y=(-2)/(3)x+2`.

So b=2.
