The answer will be in the picture
A letter or symbol is used to represent an unknown quantity
Step 1: Find the slope
(y-y)/(x-x) = (8-8)/(9+4) = 0
Step 2: Substitute into the slope intercept equation
y - y = m(x - x)
y - 8 = 0(x - 9)
If the problem just wants plain, slope intercept form, then this is your answer.
If not, y = 8
we are given
now, we can compare it with
we can find b
we get
now, we are given
How would the graph change if the b value in the equation is decreased but remains greater than 1
Let's take
b=1.8
b=1.6
b=1.4
b=1.2
now, we can draw graph
now, we will verify each options
option-A:
we know that all y-value will begin at y=0
because horizontal asymptote is y=0
so, this is FALSE
option-B:
we can see that
curve is moving upward when b decreases for negative value of x
but it is increasing slowly for negative values of x
so, this is FALSE
option-C:
we can see that
curve is moving upward when b decreases for negative value of x
but it is increasing slowly for negative values of x
so, this is TRUE
option-D:
we know that curves are increasing
so, the value of y will keep increasing as x increases
so, this is TRUE
option-E:
we can see that
curve is moving upward when b decreases for negative value of x
but it is increasing slowly for negative values of x
so, this is FALSE
