Describe the transformation in each function as it relates to the graph of f(x)=x C. g(x) =-5/3x D. g(x)=9x-4

Answer 1

This simple question can be solved by understanding the slope-intercept form of a line.

The slope-intercept form can be described as y=mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line.

We are given the original function f(x) = x, and we want to transform that (change it) into two given functions:

g(x)= - 5/3 x AND g(x) = 9x - 4.

By simply using the information from the slope-intercept form, we can see exactly how the graph will change.

g(x)= - 5/3x is going to have a negative slope of -5/3 and a y-intercept of 0

g(x)= 9x - 4 is going to have a positive slope of 9 and a y-intercept of -4.
