Answer:

g(x) = 12x + 27

Explanation:

Take a point in the f(x).

f(0) = 12(0) + 3

f(0) = 3

A point on f(x) is (0,3).

Move the point 2 units left. It will make the x-coordinate decrease by 2.

0 - 2 = -2

A point on g(x) is (-2,3).

Substitute the point and the same slope into the equation of a line. The slope did not change.

y = mx + b

3 = 12(-2) + b

3 = -24 + b

b = 3 + 24

b = 27

Rewrite g(x) using b = 27 and the same slope, m = 12.

g(x) = 12x + 27
