Question

The graph of g(x) goes through the point (-4, 1) and is parallel to h(x) = 5x - 2 points

8. Determine the symbolic representation of g(x). Express your answer in
slope intercept form. *

Answer 1

`g(x)=5x+21`

Explanation:

The slope of g(x) is 5 because the slope of h(x) is 5 and g is parallel to h.

In point-slope form:

`g(x)-1=5(x+4)`

Rearranging for slope intercept form:

`g(x)-1=5x+20\\g(x)=5x+21`
