If y=x+5 were changed to y=x+9 how would the graph of the new function compare with the first one

It would be shifted up

Answer:

Option C is correct.

Explanation:

Given that if the graph y=x+5 changed to y=x+9 then we have to compare the two graphs.

As first graph given is y=x+5

which is the equation of straight line with slope 1 and intercept 5.

Second equation is y=x+9

which is also the equation of straight line with slope 1 but intercept 9.

The intercept of second graph is greater than the first

⇒ the graph of new function shifted up.

Option C is correct.
