Question

if y=2x+1 were changed to y=1/2x+1, how would the graph of the new function compare with the first one? A. it would be steeper B. it would be shifted left C. it should be shifted down D. it would be less steep

Answer 1

D. It would be less steep.

The y-intercept remains the same.

Answer 2

Answer:

It would be more steeper

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we are given with two pair of linear equations . We have to determine if the second equation is steeper than the first one.

We can find this with the help of slope of the lines.

Our equations are given in slope intercept that

y=mx+c

where m is slope and c is the y intercept. comparing it with the equations

Line 1 : y=2x+1

m=2

c=1

Line 2 : y(1/2)x+1

Slope m=(1/2)

c=1

Hence the slope of second line is less than the first line hence it is steeper.
