Question

question 1 of 10

if (y = x + 5) were changed to (y = x + 9), how would the graph of the new function compare with the first one?

a. it would be shifted right.
b. it would be steeper.
c. it would be shifted down.
d. it would be shifted up.

Explanation:

Compare the slopes of the two linear functions

$$ LATEXBLOCK0 $$

Compare the y-intercepts of the two linear functions

$$ LATEXBLOCK1 $$

Determine the geometric transformation

$$ y_{\text{new}} = y_{\text{old}} + 4 $$

Answer:

  • A. It would be shifted right.
  • B. It would be steeper.
  • C. It would be shifted down.
  • D. It would be shifted up. (Correct answer)
