Question

2 Consider the graph of the linear function h(x) = - 3 x + 5. Which could you change to move the graph down 3 units? 1 the value of b to -3 2 the value of m to 3 3 the value of b to 2 4 the value of m to 2

Answer 1

3. the value of b to 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function

`h\mleft(x\mright)=-3x+5`

If we move the graph down 3 units, we have a vertical translation down 3 units which gives:

`\begin{gathered} h(x)-3=-3x+5-3 \\ =-3x+2 \end{gathered}`

Comparing with the slope-intercept form: y=mx+b

The value of b changes to 2.
