Question

The equation of a line y=2x+14. If the slope is doubled and the y-intercept is reduced by 5, what will be the new equation?

Answer 1

y = 4x + 9

Explanation:

Given the linear equation, y = 2x + 14 where:

slope (m) = 2

y-intercept (b) = 14

Doubling the slope: 2 × 2 = 4

Reducing the y-intercept by 5: 14 - 5 = 9

Therefore, the new linear equation is:

y = 4x + 9
