Part A: The slope of f(x) is three times as great as the slope of g(x).
Part B: The y-intercept of g(x) is 12 larger than the y-intercept of f(x).
In order to find these two answers, you need to find a model for f(x). You can do that by first finding the slope. The formula is below.
slope (m) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
In this equation (x1, y1) is the first point and (x2, y2) is a second point. For this purpose, we'll pick (1, 0) and (0, -6)
slope (m) = (-6 - 0)/(0 - 1)
m = -6/-1
m = 6
Now we know that the slope is 6, which is 3 times as great as the first slope. Now to find the y-intercept, we can use either point and the slope in slope intercept form.
y = mx + b
0 = 6(1) + b
0 = 6 + b
-6 = b
So we know the y-intercept is -6, which is 12 less than the y-intercept of g(x).
Answer:
the answer is 3x2-10x+6=0
