Question

The equation y = 2x + 3 is graphedbelow. If this graph is shifted up 3 units, what will be the equation of the new graph

Answer 1

y = 2x + 6

Explanation:

The equation is in point slope form or y = mc + b

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

Since the graph is simply shifted up 3 units, the y intercept will change by increasing by 3, but the slope will not
