Question

if y = 2x + 7 were changed to y = 1/2 x + 7 , how would the graph of the new function compare with the original ?

Answer 1

Y = 2x + 7.....the slope is 2 and the y int is 7
y = 1/2x + 7...the slope is 1/2 and the y int is 7

In comparison, the only difference is the slope. And if the original equation has a slope of 2, and it is changed to a slope of 1/2, then it will have a " less steep " slope. In other words, the slope will not be as steep....but the y intercepts will be the same.

Answer 2

Answer:

It would be less steep
