Answer: The graph is shifted vertically, but not horizontally
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the added constant is outside the x term, the constant will only shift the graph vertically.
First, the equation needs to be put into slope-intercept form, which is y = -4/5x + 7/5. Then, you need to know what parallel and perpendicular lines are. REMEBER, parallel lines have the same slope, and perpendicular lines have slopes whose product equal -1. You just need to substitute. For the parallel line, -2 = -4/5(4) + b, and b = 6/5, so y = -4/5x + 6/5. For the perpendicular line, the slope is 5/4. Now substitute. -2 = 5/4(4) + b, and b = -7, so y = 5/4x -7.
Using the equation P=a+b+c , you just need to plug in.
4a-2b + 7a-3 + 9a - 4
Combine like terms.
20a-2b-7
8000 because 3 is less than 5 so you stay the same (which is 8)
