Question

PLEASE HELP Line A is represented by the equation, y = 1/4x + 5 . (a) Write in slope-intercept form, the equation of a line that is steeper than line A. (b) Write in slope-intercept form the equation of a line that is a vertical shift down 4 units from line A.

Answer 1

a) y= 2x +3

b) y= ¼x +1

Explanation:

Please see the attached picture for the full solution.

Further explanation:

b) y-intercept of A= 5

y-intercept of line= 5 -4= 1

Since the gradient of the line is equal to the gradient of line A, gradient of line= ¼.
