Answer:

4x - 5y + 30 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

When a slope of a line and a point passing through it is given then we use slope - one point form to determine the equation of the line.

It is given by:

$(y - y_1) = m (x - x_1)$

where $m$ is the slope of the line and

$(x_1, y_1)$ is the point passing through it.

Here $m = \frac{4}{5}$ and $(x_1 , y_1) = (-5,2)$ .

Substituting in the equation we get

$(y - 2) = \frac{4}{5} (x + 5)$

$\implies 5y - 10 = 4x + 20$

$\implies 4x - 5y + 30 = 0$

$\bf \bullet \textit{ horizontal shift by }\frac{{{ C}}}{{{ B}}}\\

with that template in mind, let's see $\bf f(x)=\sqrt{x}\qquad 
\begin{array}{llll}
g(x)=&\sqrt{0.5x}\\
&\quad \uparrow \\
&\quad B
\end{array}$

so B went form 1 on f(x), down to 0.5 or 1/2 on g(x)
B = 1/2, thus the graph is stretched by twice as much.
