In the attached images we can see the rigid transformation of the function
1. The basic graph
2. The reflected graph
3. The displaced graph
Reflection: In the expression , the sign - before the parenthesis indicates that the function is reflected in the x axis, for this case the function is even, this means that -f(x) = f(-x)
, then the reflection on the x axis is equal to the reflection on the y axis.
Displacement: We observe the term (x-4) of the function and analyze the value -4, where, the sign - indicates displacement to the right and the value 4 indicates the amount that the graph shifted
.
Answer:
The equation in slope-intercept form that represents the situation is y=0.25*x + 84 where y represents the temperature in ° F and x the number of chirps per minute.
Step-by-step explanation:
A linear equation can be expressed in the form y=m*x + b. In this equation, x and y are coordinates of a point, m is the slope and b is the y coordinate of the y-intercept. Since this equation describes a line in terms of its slope and its y-intercept, this equation is said to be in its slope-intercept form.
When there are two points of a line (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), the slope is determined by the quotient between the difference of the ordinate of these two points and the difference of the abscissa of the same points. This is:
Having a point on the line, you can substitute the values of m, x and y in the equation y = mx + b and thus find b.
In this case:
- (x1, y1): (92, 107)
- (x2, y2): (116, 113)
So:
m= 0.25
substituting the values of m, x1 and y1 in the equation y = mx + b you have:
107= 0.25*92 + b
107 - 0.25*92= b
84=b
