Question

Timmy writes the equation f(x) = x – 1. He then doubles both of the terms on the right side to create the equation g(x) = x – 2. How does the graph of g(x) compare to the graph of f(x)? The line of g(x) is steeper and has a higher y-intercept. The line of g(x) is less steep and has a lower y-intercept. The line of g(x) is steeper and has a lower y-intercept. The line of g(x) is less steep and has a higher y-intercept

Answer 1

the line of g(x) is steeper and has lower y intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=1/4x-1

g(x)=1/2x-2

g(x) is steeper because the slope of gx is greater than f(x)

y intercept of gx=-2 and for f(x)=-1

the y intercept of g(x) is lower than the y intercept of f(x)

Answer 2

we have
f(x) = x – 1
and
g(x) = 2x - 2,
because when you double both of the terms of x - 1, you have to multiply each of the terms by two
so
g(x)=2*[x-1]------> g(x)=2x-2

How does the graph of g(x) compare to the graph of f(x)?
f(x)=x-1
slope m=1 and y-intercept is -1

g(x)=2x-2
slope m=2 and y-intercept is -2

so
a) The line of g(x) is steeper
because slope
2 > 1
b) g(x) has a lower y-intercept
because
-2 < -1

therefore

the answer is
The line of g(x) is steeper and has a lower y-intercept
