The value of k that transforms f into g is; k = -5
Points on the graph of g(x) are; (0, -3) and (0, 1)
The equation of g(x) is; y - (-3) = 4·x, which gives;
y = 4·x - 3
The y-intercept = -3
Points on the graph of f(x) are; (-1 -2) and (0, 2)
The equation of f(x) is; y - (-2) = 4·(x - (-1)), which gives;
y = 4·x + 4 - 2 = 4·x + 2
The y-intercept = 2
The slopes of the graphs of f(x) and g(x) are equal, therefore, f(x) ║ g(x)
The difference or the transformation that takes the y-intercept of f(x) to the
y-intercept of g(x) is; k = y-intercept(g(x)) - y-intercept(f(x)) = -3 - 2 = -5
Therefore, k = -5
Which gives;
g(x) = f(x) - 5
The value of k that transforms f into g is; k = -5
The probable question may be:
Given that g (x) = f(x) + k, identify a value of k that transforms f into g.
Points on the graph of g(x) are; (0, -3) and (0, 1) and Points on the graph of f(x) are; (-1 -2) and (0, 2).
