Question

Timmy writes the equation f(x) = 1/4 x – 1. He then doubles both of the terms on the right side to create the equation g(x) = 1/2 x – 2. How does the graph of g(x) compare to the graph of f(x)?

Answer 1

compare with y = m x + b m1 = 1/4 and m2 = 1/2 g(x) is steeper b1 = -1 and b2 = -2 = b1 - 1 graph moved down 1 unit
