Which statement about the graphs of h(x)=−2x+4 and k(x)=4x−4 is correct?
1 answer:
Answer:
A: The x-intercept of k(x) is half the x-intercept of h(x)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer choices B, C, and D are concerned with slopes and y-intercepts. The coefficients of x in the functions are different and are related by a factor of -2, so the lines are not parallel, and one slope is not twice the other. The y-intercepts (constants) in each function are different, so they graphs do not cross the y-axis at the same place.
Hence answer choices B, C, and D can be eliminated.
The x-intercepts are found by setting y=0 and solving for x:
h(x) = 0 = -2x +4 ⇒ x = 4/2 = 2
k(x) = 0 = 4x -4 ⇒ x = 4/4 = 1
The x-intercept of k(x) is half that of h(x). . . . . . . matches choice A

For this case we have that by definition, the equation of the line of the slope-intersection form is given by:
Where:
m: It is the slope of the line
b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis
According to the statement data we have:
Then, the equation is of the form:
We substitute the given point and find "b":
Finally, the equation is of the form:
