Question

Hello, Im trying to help my 9th grade daughter who is autistic with her test corrections. Its been over 20 years since I last took Algebra 1 and Im a bit rusty. She gets agitated easily and so Im trying to do some of the prep work now so I can help her when she gets home. I appreciate your assistance in advance

Answer 1

The original graph is given below

a. If the starting number of players is 600 instead of 400 then

The y-intercept will be 600

The new graph will be a vertical stretch of the original graph by a scale factor of 600/400

`(600)/(400)=1.5`

Therefore,

The y-intercept will be 600. The new graph will be a vertical stretch of the original graph by a scale factor of 1.5

b. If the starting number of players is 800 instead of 400 then

The y-intercept will be 800

The new graph will be a vertical stretch of the original graph by a scale factor of 800/400

`(800)/(400)=2`

Therefore,

The y-intercept will be 800. The new graph will be a vertical stretch of the original graph by a scale factor of 2
