Question 7 PLEASE HELP Describe the transformation from the graph of f(x) =x to the graph of g(x)=1/5x+4 A: The transformations
are a rotation and a translation. B: The transformations are a translation, A reflection, and a rotation. C The transformations are a translation and a reflection. D The transformations are a rotation and a reflection
1 answer:
Answer:
A: The transformations are a rotation and a translation.
Step-by-step explanation:
The function f(x) is shown in the attachment as a dashed red line. The function g(x) is shown as the blue line.
The two lines have different slopes. The change in slope can be accomplished by horizontal or vertical scaling, or by rotation. The offered answer choices only include <em>rotation</em> as an option for changing the slope.
The two lines have different intercepts. To move the line from one intercept to another, generally translation is involved.
The simplest transformation is rotation and translation.

<em>Comment on the answer choices</em>
If the reflection is done across a line other than an axis, or if the rotation is done about a point other than the origin, then <em>any combination of rotation, reflection, and translation can be used to make the transformation seen</em>. (Translation alone is not sufficient.)
For example, reflecting the line across the bisector of the angle between the lines (a line with a slope of (√13 -2)/3 through (5, 5)) will give the desired transformation in one step.
Similarly, a rotation of about 33.69° about the point (5, 5) will give the transformation in on step. (That angle is 45°-arctan(1/5).)

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay so we know that line on the triangle DEF that's parallel to the line BC is EF. This because they have the same slope and we can prove that while solving for slope-intercept form.
First we figure out our points for both the lines:
BC:
EF:
Now that we have our points we can use the slope formula to prove these two line have the same slope and are therefore parallel to eachother:
= Slope Formula
BC =
EF =
So now we proved that both of these lines have a slope of -1. Then we can use the slope intercept formula and one of the points from the line EF to find the y-intercept of the of line EF:
Let's use point =
We used the formula and found that the y-intercept was , so now we plug in all of our answers:
This is the complete answer but if you wanted to simplify it more you could write it as , cause as long as you make the x negative in the equation it will always be as if you multiplied it by -1.
